Commissar Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I started a QB with '44 FJs. Setting was June, 1944; German Airbourne. I tried selecting some aufklarungs but it just keep giving me the pioneers instead. I am presuming this is a bug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hmmph. What's even weirder is that the "Aufklarung" platoon has different Pioneer squads ("German Airborne Fallschirmjäger Pioneer 44 Squad" x4, of 10 men each), compared to the actual Pioneer platoon ("German Airborne Pioneer 44A Squad" x3, of 9 men each, + 2 FT's). This seems to happen on into May 1945, BTW. (Oddly enough though, if you choose June 1943, all that's available for FJ infantry is Pioneer units!) Is a bit off, I agree. But look at it this way: You've got a heavy scout platoon --- equiped with satchel charges --- that has the added bonus ability of clearing mine-fields, without the drag in points those FT's cost. What I want to know is, what's an "Airborne Fallschirmjäger"? [ January 20, 2003, 05:17 AM: Message edited by: von Lucke ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Fallschirmjäger does not equal Airborne. Many Fallschirmjäger never ever saw a carrier aircraft, much less jumped out of one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I think I'd prefer to parachute from a working aircraft that one spiraling out of control... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
