How do you use paratrooper

[Twotribes]

I dont understand how they work have a unit at 100 percent do I need an air unit with it any specific air unit?

[MOS96B2P]

You need to have at least one transport airplane (transports are shown on the production screen like supply trucks. They are not an actual unit counter in the game). The Airborne unit cannot have moved the turn of the jump. Click on the Airborne unit and hold the cursor over enemy territory (I think the range is six hexagons). While moving the cursor around a parachute icon will appear over potential drop zones. Right click the one you want. One thing that is a little confusing is that you can't jump into friendly territory. The parachute icon only appears over OpFor controlled territory.

Thanks

That might need to be fixed with the unit, allow to drop on friendly hex

I got message need s to be at 100% effectiveness and my unit has been sitting in Denmark for all winter waiting for the weather to improve. Also, naval invasion button isn't active like the naval transport button. Can Germans use a Danish port to start an invasion?

[Twotribes]

Paradrops are only 6 hexes and yes gotta have 100 percent. Invasion you load on transports travel to beach and click on the fleet interface to change to landing craft.

But how do you get to 100%. I've been waiting in Denmark and stuck at 70%.

I use supply trucks every turn until 100% and also make sure the paratroopers are on a hexagon with a high supply level (8 or 9 supply level).

it should recover with time but you can speed up recovery with hq and supply trucks

see the manual on page 67

Thank you shapelord. The supply level is 8 and the unit effectiveness was 96% on March 29, 1940 and has increased to 97% by June 7, 1940. I checked the Manaul on page 67, thanks and that raised another question on supply.
The Manual says
Supply Convoy Interdiction – After supply is calculated for a port,
friendly and enemy fleets are automatically calculated for interdicting
the supply line. Port supplies can be affected by enemy naval and air
forces in the area with at least 1 operation point at the end of the turn.
Naval forces need to be within 4 hexes and enemy air forces within
8 hexes, or less if the air unit range is less, of the port to have a chance
to affect supply delivered. Friendly air and naval forces automatically
escort within the same ranges. Port levels can’t be reduced lower than
1. The further away an interdicting enemy fleet is from the enemy
port, the less chance the fleet has to interdict the supplies. There is
a small chance a transport point will get sunk if the supply convoy
is interdicted. Escorts have no such penalty as they are considered as
being with the supply transport coming into the port.

Do we get a report on interdiction level reduction. Air and naval losses from this automatic interdiction> I haven't seen any yet. This is pretty cool. Do the ships have to be at sea to interdict? These interdictions all take place under the hood? All we do is assign to full support, make sure they retain at least one op point for the opposing turn and keep them within the specified ranges? I will forget.

It will just show as left over supply stockpile reduced. I'll see if I can add a message like.

Holy crap the UK just sank 23 of our supply stockpile!! Darn those Brits!
