Vein 86 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It seems no matter what I select the 'Airborne Infantry' tab remains greyed out. What do I need to select to pick them? :confused: Or have they been held back for the Market Garden Release? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt Jäger 10 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You have to select June. It seems appropriate due to their deployment during D-Day, i like it like that, adds a more realistic feel. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JasonC 153 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think they are still around in July actually (in the game I mean) - just not in August... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyD 1,840 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I believe in the 'real world' Airborne survivors were rotated back to England mid-July to be reconstituted for Market Garden in September. They were pretty much a spent force after Carentan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
finalcut 11 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yea,I think by August they were back in England wondering just what the Hell they got themselves into when they signed on the dotted line at the Recruiting office.:eek: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Emrys 505 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I believe in the 'real world' Airborne survivors were rotated back to England mid-July to be reconstituted for Market Garden in September. They were pretty much a spent force after Carentan. The 101st. went back a couple of weeks before the 82nd., which was used in the drive across the Cotentin Peninsula. I don't know the exact dates offhand though. Michael 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackcat 1 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Similarly, Rhino tanks are only available in July. Drove me nuts trying work that one out yesterday; I assumed that as they were introduced in July they would be available in August, but they ain't. It makes sense on one level, the bocage fighting was over by August, but on another its kind of irritating. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It makes sense on one level, the bocage fighting was over by August, but on another its kind of irritating. That doesn't compute. Tanks with Rhinos tended to continue carrying them until they received major servicing/repairs, which may not have been until well into August for most of them. Things were moving just too fast to pull a tank out of the line just to cut off some prongs. Michael 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael I agree with this, I believe they should still be available in August just with an increased rarity value to simulate the progressive de-pronging. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
