I mean that is kinda true.... Paratroopers are flown being enemy lines which means they have no supplies, no support and are immediately surrounded. Its a though job.
As absolutely broken as paratroopers are, it makes sense historically. Paratroopers routinely completely messed up supply and communications lines, and were essential parts of the D-Day invasion for their pre-landing sabotage and general ability to sow chaos behind the German lines.
Well they were in the sabotage before D-day. The paratroopers on the day itself were dropping on the fields behind the Atlantic wall. Fields that Romel had flooded just for them... The majority drowned.
I love to imagine the natonal leaders telling the nation the situation during these scenarios. Like, imagine FDR talking about how the Americans are gonna win against Japan in the long run but he's like "Ye guys, we're not really gonna use anything but paratroopers this war, I think we need a little challenge ngl."
I'm pretty sure the "once per province every 30 days" thing for paratroopers refers to the province the paratroopers land in, not the province affected. Whether intentional or not, that's how it seems to work.
Well since you stopped playing for now, I crawl back in your head and whisper “Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy Gravy Timothy”
They say artillery only is the hardest challenge in Hoi4... but they never know of the secret near impossible challenge that is much much harder, and that is *BRINGING BACK THE RAT*
you can put artillery in paratroopers and still paradrop them! So you can stack like 4 battalions and then your paratroopers are suddenly just an attacking infantry division. They perform pretty well.
Mountaineers might be better than marines as the second Special Forces doctrine because the last one (Shared Instructors) gives +20% special forces cap. And you can still go over the cap by a certain amount, by transforming already-deployed units (the game will not correctly check if you're over until the switch is done because at that point they are still normal units).
Paratroopers *need* to be able to auto-carry out landings as part of a battle plan. One of the doctrine paths should prompt this and it should instead take part in battle and wreck things like defence in those battles (germany path). Linking them to a naval invasion should time the landing to when the first sailing divisions land. The other doctrine path should do the strategic org damage by trying to land behind the enemy (us path), timing working the same way but obviously they're then isolated, so it becomes a risk reward thing.
Paratroopers are op imo. For one, upgrading them uses air experience which is usually not in short supply. The de-orging is massive (and does still stack). You can basically use paratroopers to cause encirclements at will if you have air superiority. Also, as the Germans (possibly other countries) you can pick a decision to do more than 1 special forces branch, so you can get more of the modifiers allowing for more special forces units.
They should let us modify transport planes. Maybe make them a variant of the heavy or medium aircraft. Seriously transport planes have almost no range and that's part of what makes paratroopers so difficult to use.
11:31 whenever you drop paratroopers, the state org reduction is separate from the org reduction from you dropping directly onto the units, so, while it counting twice might not be fully intentional, it is not a bug
Ah, so in this universe, the 11th didn’t only impress the command structure enough to keep airborne divisions, but they also gave them a complete hard-on for them, too. Airborne only fun af, keen to see it play out
Finally I can realize my dream: Paratroopers-only as a Paratrooper. Edit: Ironically, that "Putting the National Guard out to pasture" joke is more truth than meme 💀
Challenge Idea,Play hoi4 like it was vic 2 or eu4:you can only use divisions consisting of a single battalion of inf/arty/cav/tank so you are incentivized to attack with 'staks' just like in those game
Since the global market mechanic has been put in the game, you should try beating the game without using military factories so all you can do is buy equipment.
Here's a challenge for you: (Harder)You have to invade every country from the opposite point/(Hard)Capitulate the Soviet Union as Germany starting in Vladivostok. Bypass the Maginot by going through enemy Spain?
He avoided saying "artillery only" in his list of "X only"s so everyone would all comment the phrase "artillery only" and boost engagement on the video. Clever boy.

No. Let’s not make him suffer. Let’s demand for anti tank only.
Hoi4 on release: Paratroopers are just better infantry.
Hoi4 in 2024: Paratroopers are just better infantry.
E
That's kinda historical, paratroopers during WW2 often ended-up as elite infantry
Real life in the 1940s: Paratroopers are just better infantry.
What you you think happens to the guys you just dropped into the landscape? Are they supposed to sprout some tank battalions?
I mean that is kinda true....
Paratroopers are flown being enemy lines which means they have no supplies, no support and are immediately surrounded.

No. The man has suffered enough.

Anti-tank artillery only
ISP doesn’t play HOI4, he only plays not HOI4 games.
I love the image of him putting on a uniform every time he records, I’m picturing like a bellhop vibe

budapest hotel-ish?
we've come full circle, beating hoi4 with only tanks, paratroopers, submarines, planes. now isp finish this cycle. ARTILLERY ONLY

It's hard to push people off the beaches when you're also taking shots from behind.
Well they were in the sabotage before D-day. The paratroopers on the day itself were dropping on the fields behind the Atlantic wall. Fields that Romel had flooded just for them... The majority drowned.

ISP's paratroopers dropping into northern Germany like they're playing Helldivers 2.

5:11 "I hope you're worth it, Henry Arnold"
Well, he was the USAAF chief. I'd say he was pretty worth it
I'm pretty sure the "once per province every 30 days" thing for paratroopers refers to the province the paratroopers land in, not the province affected. Whether intentional or not, that's how it seems to work.
I also thought it might be "once per province every 30 days" for that specific division.
Artillery only
Finland gets 65% special forces cap if you go down the fascist tree. You can field a 100% mountaineer army with that.
11:24 DONT TELL THAT TO PARADOX ISP THEY'RE GONNA FUCKING PATCH IT OUT NOOOOOOO
PDX never heard of Market Garden or the invasion of Crete and think every paratrooper is a solo Company of Heroes captain Winters.

Cap is useless since you can spam 2w infantry to bypass it

I love the old beating hoi4 challenges so much lol I rewatched them a ton back in the day.
You shoudd do some more fallout, rewatched those vids recently, some of my favourites
You say CAS carries everything, meanwhile you're literally using transport planes to carry your troops smh
The USA in an alt-history path going full in on making Alsace-Lorraine/Elsass-Lothringen a demilitarized zone after WW2 is not the craziest idea ^^

The paratrooper 'bug' isn't.
It's once per state every 30 days, Per Air dropped paratrooper..
Galapagos empire, armored car, the cannon variant, ONLY.
Anti-tank only when??
Ah, so in this universe, the 11th didn’t only impress the command structure enough to keep airborne divisions, but they also gave them a complete hard-on for them, too.
Airborne only fun af, keen to see it play out
The best AI allies performance on this channel! They even retook southern France alone
Does Paradox do testing before release? Of course not, that costs money!
Mr President, a second paratrooper has hit the state...

Wild. I never thought this would work
Your sense of humor and comedic timing refreshingly original, and your accent is very interesting in a lovely way.
i dont remember Helldivers looking like this...
... No mention of using it...
Mountaineers, shared instructors. A MASSIVE amount of sp.forces cap. 👀
and so it begins anew. ARTILLERY ONLY !
Did someone say Mongolia submarine only challenge? A true proof of skill ISP.
You could drop lines of paratroopers to encircle units instead of just one.
Motorized only bring back trucking to Moscow
Oh yeah, that deorgging is definitely working as intended. I see no horrendous balance issues here.
When you've finished Focus to Z, you should consider Doctrine to Z (same principle - make everything as awful as possible).
Once again the finland saga continues. Every weird game has big finland or one that somehow fights from start to finish

ah hoi4 where being effective and winning quickly means nothing compared to committing mass human sacrifice of millions of your own soldiers.
