KNOWN BUG: Paratroopers die on transports

Paratroopers die on transports

If you leave paratroops in their transports too long (ie forget about them) they will eventually die.
A message came up - Our unit in Fort Lapperane has been annhilated (or something to that effect). The transports were still in germany.
I had noticed a small strength loss whenever I did a paradrop, but thought that might have been a part of the paradrop operation.

Also I would like to see the option to disembark paratroopers from their transport after it has been intercepted and made it back to base. Currently you have to wait until the transport has returned to full org before they can get off.

Another useful thing would be losses to paratroops when their transports are damaged. After interception, I had a transport get back to base with 2 strength. The paratroops were fine (apart from a small loss as noted above).
Alternatively, if possible an emergency paradrop where the interception occurs.

Also, should org 0 units returning to base (just swept by fighters) be able to intercept and turn back the transports? They break immediately, but the transport still returns home.

Odd... do they slowly die when on a seatransport as well?

Actually all troops on sea transports GAIN org, which i wish would happen with the air transports. Or at least, make them not die.

I support that and can confirm, that paras do not gain org on transport planes.

its very known since long that paras loose both str and org while loaded :-(

starvation

Air travel was very primative in the 1940s...no cute flight attendants serving coffee, tea or me.....

Most probably all your paras died of starvation (no cookies) or lack of love.
