Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

[Epoletov_SPR]

To add ability to destroy a barbed wire bombardment of artillery.



To limit use no partroop infantry and others units in parachute landings.
For example, having increased death rate at landing.

@paratroops, unless I'm mistaken, it already works that way.

I think what Epoletov was suggesting was that it perhaps be more extreme.

[Marek_Tucan]

I'd say it shouldn't - any marginally same commander would put his troops through atleast basic parachute course if he ever intended to drop 'em off an airplane - so if human player decides say in campaign "gee, in next battle I'm gonna drop these fresh conscripts behind enemy lines just for fun", IRL it'd include a period of training.

Yes, it so.




Still a question and the offer.

If the transport helicopter bears arms, unless it should not take less soldier inside?

I seem to recall a story about the Russians dropping guys in crates of straw into snowbanks during early WW II.
No clue if there's any truth to the story, probably not, but it is amuseing.

I think that it should represent whether or not a helicopter with weapons fitted A) has the necessary room to carry troops and B) the necessary lift capacity to carry them.

[Suhiir]

Good example of this is the H-19 Chickasaw used by the USMC between 1951-1962.
It was primarily a troop carrier (10 man capacity), but the armed version (2 X M1919 MG's and 2 pods of 2.75" rockets) couldn't carry any troops.
The engine just wasn't powerful enough to carry men and armament.

[Epoletov_SPR]

I understand that it is a lot of work for modification in WinSPMBT, but I offer this idea that transport helicopters with arms could take passengers less.

,,To limit use no partroop infantry and others units in parachute landings.

Why do we want to make Paratroops ungainly and thoroughly useless?

Isn't that a wee bit silly?
