Paratropers from shot down Air Planes

[Super Mutant]

when a Air plane gets shot down there should be a % chance that a wounded conscript paratroper apears.

Fighter - 30%
Bomber - 25%
Jet Fighter - 50%
Stealth Fighter - 70%
Stealth Bomber - 70%

of course this requiers adv. flight

0 % in all cases.
There is not sufficient men in any aircraft unit to make an infantry unit.

Perhaps a conscript rifleman, or create a partisan like unit just for this. However, i think there was already a forum like this.

I'd have to agree with Akka. Granted, the "size" of each unit would be in relation to the game world, but in no case are you really talking about a 1-1 relation.

A rifleman unit does not represent 1 man.
A fighter unit does not represent 1 aircraft.
Even the naval units would not necessarily represent the 1 ship (think of a task force, that included 1 or more of the primary units, and several smaller auxillarys).

In my approximate thinking, I consider ground units to be of division level (approximately 12,000 to 14,000 men, or about 300 afvs). Air units to be of about the size of air-wing (about 4 squadrons of about 18 - 24 aircraft each). And again, the naval units to be a task force centered around the namesake (Aegis, Battleship or whatever), where the there maybe 1 or 2 of the namesake units, and the various supporting auxillaries (subs are along the lines of 8 - 10 subs in a "wolfpack").

But even if every pilot from an entire air-wing bailed out, you're still only talking about 100 guys. Armed with a side-arm and about 5 days of K-rations. Certainly not even remotely comparable to a division of 12,000 rifleman with complete logistical support.

You're all right, but what's the point of having an 1hp infantry in game?

Using imagination is for enter deeper in an immersive game, not for justifying any absurdity that could come in it.
You could suggest that if a plane is shot down over water, a destroyer would appear to reflect that the crew build it with the rest of the planes. After all it's just imagination

No, a Ironcald would be better since its easier to find a floting steam engine in the middle of the ocean. But there could be a 37.58% chance that a nuclear Sub apears instead

I would vote for a galley.....
