Re: Help with setup
The Russians actually developed more sophisticated ways to drop armored vehicles by parachute than did the U.S. they drop the vehicles on platforms fitted with retro-rockets that fire a coue meters above the ground to soften the landing. They also drop the vehicles with the crew already inside (not something I'd like to do!) so that they can cut the straps and just roll off the platform when they hit the ground. IIRC the Soviets had a pretty massive military airlift capacity back in the day.
