Paratroop question

[sveint]

Can Italian paratroopers use German aircraft?
Can British paratroopers use US aircraft?

[klzlueylx]

no, as airlift transporters are built and owned by national resources and they are displayed in national support pool

[sveint]

Yes but how about the air unit that has to sit on top of the paratrooper?

[klzlueylx]

No, but an air unit should be in range. by that i mean the range between airunit and paratrooper need to be in 8 hexes. However the range a paratrooper could be dropped is not clearified in manuel, neither is the "weather clear" is limitting paratrooper or airunit.

So you need both a air transport for that nationality and also any air unit type within range of the drop? The air units range is a factor? Think the manual needs to be more clear on this. It doesn't mention anything about the need for an on-map air unit.
