Most airborne operations are used to target a side’s AO where the main objective of the drop is to capture the spawn CPS. Some AOs can only be attacked quickly with waves of airborne troops. Targets in the Zees or in England are good example of this.		Airborne operations in world war two online are often among the most popular type of mission for both vets and new players.

	so this is what everything so far has been leading up to and it is the most curial point of the mission so far. The Jump. The pilot has reached the target safely and now its time to descend from the sky and swoop in and cap that spawn unopposed. well that what you hope will happen....		so this is what everything so far has been leading up to and it is the most curial point of the mission so far.

	The jump call should come at about 250m before the plane flies over target (if at the correct 400m/1200ft altitude) the plane must be quite level and at standard cruising speed. (not super-sonic coming out of a dive). If you come in to fast the troopers can overshoot the drop zone and if you come in to low, you do the enemy's job for them. Once all you cargo is safely out the door you can attempt to RTB you aircraft if you wish.
