Thread 64389551

If you could pack paratroopers into compact pods like picrel, you could make each plane able to deploy a larger amount of paratroopers more efficiently, while also leaving more room for armored vehicles . Could this provide a decisive advantage for air assaults?

Let me try to list off all the issues.
>The plane could only be used to transport troops because it would have a much of pod holding shit in the way
>Standing troops don't take up much space compared to pods
>being stuck in a pod sucks
>harder for someone to check someone's equipment right before a jump if the troops are in a pod.
>A door is cheaper than a bunch of individual ejection pods
>paratrooper are obsolescence even if they're in pods.

Oh, and the weight of the pods vs a large number of standing troops.

paratroopers are made to die

But I don't want to be put into a pod

They can be used to quickly strengthen forces in a non contests area.

>>64389597
what part of it in particular

>>64389551 (OP)
Well, yes, none of your troops arriving in combat-capable condition would have pretty decisive results for air assaults. Not really advantageous ones, though.

If paratroopers were treated as better than bombs they would be used more often.
