Since the proximity dar thing came along you can't hide a goon. Before you could hide it under a tree and people would fly right over you without seeing it. I think if you turned off the proximity dar for planes on the ground or at very low alt people might start sneaking goons in again.

Real goon carried 28 paratroopers so why not in game? BTW, 28 combat equipped troops is a really packed bird, we were loading 20 slick jumpers on and that was crowded. Also, you'll need to up the base take requirement for troops because that is normally a Battalion (+) objective in the real world.

That's a very good question.
Let's wait for the 'expert's' to give us an answer.
Then they can tell you why this borked radar is better than the original.

Well, I'm not an expert and all (in face of crudely attempted snark) but ...

Adding more troops per drop is a bigger frame rate hit.

Having said that, since it wasn't unusual to see three goons drop on the same town back when goons were popular - if AHIII and the average player's machine can handle three sticks of 28 (84 objects) versus three sticks of ten (30 objects) *ShruG* then why not?

Why not make the town three buildings and one gun.

seen 7 goons drop on town, it isnt that big of a frame rate.  more like hitech said if he increased the number of troops, it will match the number of troops to take town.  so m3's troops will sit on top of each other.

I think it would be a cool experiment.

Increase captures to 100 troops. Make it more realistic.

Why not just turn off the dar/icon for planes on the ground?

dont allow you to bring a blender in the p38, after all ww2 pilots didnt have one.  that would be realistic.

There are very few goon captures relative to m3 captures. What if we tried a tour with 20 troops in a goon? It could supposedly carry 28 paratroopers vs 12 in the m-3 (according to wikipedia). I think it might change the fight dynamic and make things interesting. Can always change it back if it is too destabilizing.

well my friend i may be wrong but i think a C47 can only carry 12 troops and it only takes 10 to capture a base. although you have to use a goon to capture a base with no spawn in's but with currant radar set up goons are easily spotted towns or V-bases

well my bad maybe--if our goon is a C47B-DK it carries 28 troops.

HiTech which C47 do we have-Skytrain/Dakota

think number of troops is arbitrary.  if he increases number of troops then he'll up number of troops needed to take map room.

He should test the max number of spawned objects before our collective computers cry. Make it a million per goon.  :D
