airborn problem

[unmerged(108655)]

hi guys, i am playing with japan (i started '36, now is '46), and i reasearched all to get airborn units (semi modern transport, land doctrine for air calvary, night etc.) and i still can't use paratropers :wacko:
in most cases i can't even drop from one province to another, distance about 200 km!! is this a bug? because sometimes it randomly gives me airborn option in the plane mission, plz help me! thank you

and i have another question, why some of my shpis can reach hawai, they are all semi modern, and some of the are from year 1944. ??

In order to paradrop, you need:

1) The Tech: Battlefield Interdiction researched
2) ABSOLUTELY full organization on the Transport Planes (*)
3) Clear weather over the airfield and target province
4) Must be at war with the target
5) Target must be in range

(*) Note: NOT "looks like full ORG to me"... it must be absolutely full. The mouse-over tool-tip will say "Daily ORG regain = 0.0"

Re: ships... select the Ship, then point the mouse at Hawaii and measure the range. Compare it to the ship's printed range.

Jarno is right, you can't raise ORG manually, it auto increase over time.
For that reason I don't like to research TECH that increase the ORG of Transport Planes for the simple reason that the higher their ORG level the longer it takes to regain full ORG.

Not quite. When the maximum organisation is higher, org regain will increase proportinally. However, the only thing to make it reach maximum faster is by increasing morale, which is also done through doctrines (in the strategic bombing tree).

You may be right, I may be wrong. On second thought, it may have been that the Airbase level were low, resulting in my Transport planes to regain ORG slower? I can't remember if this is so, which will make your statement true.

hey this is vec's friend. i was playing with germany and got to '47 researched me 323D gigant i have an air army of 4 gigants loaded with army of 4 airborne infantry. Planes are stationed in athens and i want to attack partisans in edessa(the province right under albania i'm not shure of the name) so it is in range. I right click it and i set mission to airborne assault(if org is low Air ass does not appear as an option) and my planes just stand in athens...

pls help n tnx

Did you check the weather, over your airbase and over the target? Did you mouse-over your ORG bar and make sure it says "Daily ORG regain = 0.0"? What did you set the Date/Time/ORG/STR sliders for, in the pop-up combat settings window?

if organisation isn't 100% airborne assault does not appear as one of possible missions, so yes it was 100% and mission lasted for a month and paras were not dropped so i gues that at least for a day weather shoud have been fine...

similar thing happened with amphibious assault i set amph ass mission and minimal org to 0 and fleet stays in harbor until the end of the mission...

Same happened to me as well. I just canceled the mission and set a new time for the attack, and made sure about the time setting for the attack (refer to posting of Blue Emu about settings for assualt).
