Paratroops not going
Alright. So it's 1939, playing as Germany, I have France and Belgium, it's WWII, trying to invade Britain with paratroopers but they won't go. I have transport planes at the airfield I'm launching from, I have complete air superiority in the launch airspace and the DZ/target airspace (southern England). The templates are only paratroopers and support, the checkmark is green, but I'm getting this yellow exclamation point that says unable to move units to province along the path. I was able to paradrop in France earlier this game but now what. I heard somewhere it might have to do with supplies but idk.



I have been bombing the crap outta England so, is it possible it's bc they have no infastructure and thus the game won't let me land there, or is it because I don't have naval supremacy and the game doesn't think my convoys would reach a port if I took it? It's doesn't seem to matter whether the target is a port or not, I'm getting the same prompt. help pls

Game is really bad at explaining stuff to you. Are you absolutely sure that you had assigned each unit to invasion to each mission in your battleplan? It is pain in the ass to perform large scale paratrooper and naval invasions. Game is not balanced for early war marine rush. It is similar matter with airborne troops and lack of proper air supply.

This is a well known bug, I experienced it too. Just restart the game and make sure you maintain 70% air superiority and assign enough tranport planes

It is more about having at least one plane. From my experience, only speed of invasions differ. It is good exercise just to start 1 IC production of transport planes. You won't need to worry about huge efficiency loss and over time you will get more than enough of them.

Try restarting then game fully. Outside of that, I do not know that else can there be.

It sure is bugged. I restarted it, got the same prompt, but then all 9 divisions assigned to the order just disappeared, died, idk what happened. They never even left the airfield n I have 100% air superiority, but all the sudden got 250k casualties lol. Paradox wtf
