Wondering how far you can drop with max air tech?  It turns out not that far, the max drop distance is 9 hexes:  You are only getting 1 additional hex when upgrading to the max. So in addition the the slightly longer drop distance maxing air tech gets you a large combat upgrade with the special forces but you loose huge mobility. |

yeah. That's my big dilemma. Definitively don't upgrade to special forces untill there is proof that this is valuable. You cannot downgrade back to motorized once you upgrade and then find out this wasn't such a great idea. I want to see something solid and tangible as to why the upgrade makes sense or else I aint doing it. |

Cant give up that mobility. |

Would be great if we can make use of max air upgrade because making paratrooper special force is actually cheaper over all than making them in cities.
That is not the case for motorized,when you make paratroopers that are motorized you pay 50% more for the unit as compared to normal city production.

Special forces as paratrooper would be more realistic since paratroopers are elite soldiers Having motorised infantry as paratroopers makes no sense. They dropped their trucks out of planes  |

Well Special Forces as paratroopers suits me well, because I use paratroopers to secure high value targets (like cities or oil well). Sure you lose a lot of mobility (A LOT) but you will get more firepower and defence as well, which is nice (at least for me).

They dropped their trucks out of planes Realistically in the early 60's and earlier most of this wasn't available but later one the use of airborne fighting vehicles (trucks,infantry fighting ,anti tank motorized guns,self propelled artillery) was adopted by some countries in particular the Soviet Union went all out and develloped a wide range of airborne vehicles. |

Chalk up another one for the Soviets. USA spent their time developing missiles of mass destruction, capable of leveling entire cities. Soviets made planes that drop vehichles. Time well spent. my paratroopers are only up to assault infantry but I hope to get motorized. |

You should probably keep the motorized infantry. It's extremely useful. Especially once you get to the aliens. Europe and america were easily conquered after taking all those smaller cities that the aliens don't defendXD

But some people might like more powerful air force(shield penetration&1 more hex), so it depends. *WHY EASYTECH DOES NOT EXCHANGE THE ORDER OF UPGRADING SO WE CAN UPGRADE THE DISTANCE FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO PARA MOTPRIZED INFANTRY BY 9 HEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
