Stop and ask yourself would you rather bring a C47 or an M3 all that way to release troops nad have them do some rinky dink damage like take out ack, etc, or bring in your favorite ground pounder and do it instead?
Believe me, I understand wanted to add in a few more dynamics to the game but the current coding of the pilot zombies we have for troops isnt going to changed nor be updated to perform the duties you describe.
First things first: update the troops model and THEN code in a different task.
