  I'm finding the fix for this now limits the options my heavy bombers have. I can still do all the operations but now I am limited to having airbourne units in the same space as a heavy at the start of the turn to use the paradrop feature. The same with moving troops or supply, they cannot be strat moved into the territory before moving them with the bombers like I used to be able to do.
 
I can also still move the bomber a space or two and still pick up inf or supply but only if that inf or supply has not moved first.

I noticed there was no response on this one. It seems to be a bug in 1.201. If it is a change - I preferred the way it worked before (in 1.087 and previous versions). Paratroopers are much less flexible now, and moving supply around by air is much more difficult. If this is a problem with the fix, I'd be inclined to just undo whatever change was made between 1.087 and 1.200 that caused problems with strat movement in the first place (and undoing moves).

Anyway, I was curious why there was no official response on this?

I'm sorry I somehow missed this post. Keith was toying around with making this change, but I honestly didn't know he made it. You should treat it as a new rule. We might consider changing it back if we release another patch, but I don't know of anything else at the moment that is requiring a patch anytime soon.

if thats a new rule, other than those available in the stock game, paratroopers will be totally vanished from the game (in fact, given its cost to build, i doubt whether it was built at all). re: paratrooper movements, i prefer the way it was in the stock game.
