Landingcraft, parachutes in Normandy?

[packito]

At first, sorry for my english.

Greetings to the entire community, I'm from Barcelona, Spain

I want to know if there will landing craft or parachutes in the Battle for Normandy.

Thanks

Airborne and Glider infantry are in ToE. Not the landing craft.

Like CMBO, nobody can parachute or glide into the battle. But as Jaws says, we do have full US Airborne (Parachute and Glider) formations in the game.

No landing craft.

but we'll see on stage the fall of parachutists, the act of seeing the paratroopers landing on earth?

Can not be a landing? Normandy was the main achievement, the beginning of everything .....

No, troops dropping in on parachutes will not be shown. Nor do they need to be. Paras dropping in to combat were the exception, not the rule. so modelling parachutes seems to me work for little reward.

Especially since we have always been able to place reinforcements all over a map, simulating par drops whenever the need arose.

Thanks Steve and sorry for my repetition

Thank you Elmar for you answer

I am/was hoping they'd give us parachute flavor objects that we could place on the map to simulate areas where guys landed...airborne detritus if you will.

With no game knowledge whatsoever, as soon as I saw the water I thought how the invasion could be simulated. Set water (as wide as possible) along one map edge. Create the Normandy coastline on the other.

For landing craft, piers, docks, or bridges could be placed along the shore. In my imagination the piers would be open ground rectangles (put a wall around it if you'd like) placed along the beach. They would simulate landing craft. Each would be a reinforcement zone. During the battle, the reinforcements appear in the zones.

It's not perfect, but it would be VERY doable.

Yes there's water but no surf or tides, etc.

So the best you can have is "post landing" (i.e. on the beach but not in the landing craft)

Same same Paras and Gliders.

You can replicate them on the DZ / LZ (and reflect casualties due to people being hurt landing, etc.) but not the actual act of arriving or regrouping post drop, etc.
