So the solution is allow troops to turn paratroopers into swiss cheese while they drop instead of giving them Halo energy shields, not make it so that a unit which is SUPPOSED to excel at harassing back lines worse at doing what it's supposed to do.
If someone's using them as a summon in the middle of a crowded battlefield, then they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it, I absolutely agree, but if someone drops paratroopers behind the fuckin' Maginot line staffed by three tumbleweeds and twenty bunkers, they should damn well be able to wreak havoc.
+1 absolutely
