paras ignore fortifications

[Thurak]

Hi,

is it a bug, or is it a feature?

I am playing with 1.06 and my paratroops ignore land fortifications. And no, I have not a fortress buster as commander...

I was expecting to fight with -45% but was really surprised when I saw them fighting without it. Seems not realistic to me, or do they all land on top of the bunkers so the enemy can´t shoot them?

Feature.

Have you heard of Eben Emael, a Belgian fort that was put out of action by a handful of soldiers landing on the roof?

nope.

sounds interesting.

The first hit on a google search of Eben Emael is this website:

What a good website and interesting story.

Paratroopers only encounter resistance from coastal forts. Seems they like to paradrop into the sea and then swim to shore. Very logical. But an admin will always come along and say it's WAD.
