    • Instant disembark

      I was fighting a small stack of unis in a city, and out of the radar came a 12 stack- on a transport plane.

      This plane then, while the city was under assault, unloaded all twelve units as if nothing was happening- instantly. They landed, and engaged my troops.

      I honestly don't get how airborne troops take an hour to disembark, but giant transport planes take no time whats so ever.

    • I think that the units can go into combat immediately but infantry can't conquer territory until their deployment timer runs out. It is curious that non-airborne units can do that as well. I wonder why...

      Next time, take along some air defense units or put a fighter over the city you're trying to conquer, just in case.

      Oh i had that, but he is the only person ive seen so far that used stacks of 4 theater defense systems. I'm talking a huge amount of AA, most of his research had went into it, as his MBT only hit lvl 2 by day 30

    • There is a situation, if you are sending those units while you own the city/air base it will proceed and land. If you adjust in flight, it will recheck ownership and determine that it can't land. So I don't touch units when I see that situation developing.
