paradox has made a silly change
super heavy tanks are support units now, with the mild problem that support units dont care what they’re attached to
paratroopers with super heavy tanks
marines with super heavy tanks
they even make the tank noise when they move despite the models being infantry guys

Normandy beaches: June, 1944.
The first wave of aerial assault by the Allies. All across the strand, thousands of allied paratroopers brave the dotted Nazi pillboxes and rough wooded terrain for their landings. And the most dangerous landing of them all…
*inexplicably incredibly loud car-airhorn coming from a CGI tank falling vertically past the camera with a bunch of parachutes following behind*
The Aerial Sherman.

Later on YouTube someone edits that to play like an uwu version of Stars and Stripes forever and it’s actually just a scene from Girls Und Panzer.

@thedandeliongrove this is excellent, but you got exactly one thing wrong
the sherman is a medium tank
an actual super heavy is about 2-6 times heavier and so big its difficult to transport even by ship

Def makes the image even more hilarious tho, like focusing on a paratrooper all focused on landing when a shadow casts over them and ono they just last minute dodge a super heavy barreling past them and the exploding like five to twenty parachutes just to slow down.
Also imagining the documentary CGI bit then showing the tanks inexplicably landing super gracefully like rolling the treads to basically pull themselves upright once it kisses the ground XD
Ofc with like both Nazi and Allied forces jumping out of the way for safety as one splats down.
…
Okay but also knowing that amphibious tanks actually were deployed for the Normandy invasion makes me wonder how much R&D went into the possibility for para-tanks lol.

@thedandeliongrove more than youd think actually, the soviet union definitely experimented with it and even modern day russia has airdroppable armor in form of the bmd series of vehicles, they’re kinda neat, technically not tanks though

Personally I like the idea that the airdropped tank must also hold the crew and land with them safely. How else would you get American troops to yeehaw out the top cabin of the tank as they drop in to do warcrimes in the Balkans or whatever :P
