Anyone has issues deciding this?
I am torn because not upgrading air power past a certain point keeps the paratroopers as motorized infantry which is super nice for speed conquests.
On the other hand upgrading to higher levels gets you more damage on the experienced partroopers and more range for airports (and I think aircraft carriers too) and the special forces are sick fighters you can drop them on a city or oil field and and they will defend it much better than the motorized infantry, only problem is they are very slow and cant speed conquest.

I don't have resources to upgrade but for me I use paratroopers as units to capture distant objectives that would take long for regular units to reach in conquest. I would keep them as motorised infantry.

Yes, aircraft carrier also gets the benefits from upgrading upgrading air force (at least additional range that is obvious). As for airborne question, I am keeping motorized infantry as I use them for capturing cities and use airstrike to kill things. When I need to siege a far away city which is protected by a strong general I can also use the para-motorized-infantry (PMI) to move around, painting the area with my color, then I build land forts around it and have few para-motorized-infantries sitting there waiting to capture. No need to have any of my force running all the way there. In conclusion, it is the mobility that I utilize, not really combat power. Anyway, spamming a horde of special forces sounds scary too.

I think motorized could be more useful. It helps me a lot when I land from Spain in Africa to take Dakar for example. I need to take the city a bit lower Dakar as soon as possible as AI starts to spam paratroopers from Dakar.
By the way,what is the level when You can choose between special force and motorized infantry?

 Actually it gives more range and upgrades for the paratroopers indirectly gives more damage but unsure about more damage for the air raids themselves so edited original post. PMI Trade mark Kanue ahaha,I like that designation,I think super mobility,ability to outmaneuver the ai and lower morale and painting the enemy territory for the purpose of building fortifications makes for a better choice than firepower,it just is more usefull. Andrei I only upgraded in the chinese version and I restarted now in the new English version so dunno the exact level for the switch. I think it's well worth it to not upgrade as this "upgrade" is really a downgrade and if you do it by mistake it is permanent and no way to go back to the motorized version. |

You will see the paratrooper lv4. |
