It should really have a tooltip saying 'not enough transports' but it will never tell you this. I've tried changing the plan to just drop them to another province in Brittany and still they don't move. Try selecting most of the paratroopers and hitting ctrl+h (to remove their orders) so that only a few divisions still have the paratroop order. If I move the paratroopers out of the airbase province, they do move themselves back in due to the active plan, but still no flying over to Ireland. There's no yellow/red ! on the divisions. However, the planning bonus sits on 0% and if I activate the plan, nothing happens. The plan no longer complains about air superiority! after the hoi4 waking the tiger update many questions were raised in the hoi4 community like how do i use paratroopers in hoi4 now and why cant i deploy mor. They moved all their fighters our of English Channel to protect the homeland! I now have air superiority over 70% in all 3 zones (English Channel, Approaches, Ireland), and set a plan to paradrop on Ireland. I put 700 strategic bombers in Southern England. That ain't happening as it's 7000 fighters defending English channel against my 700! But I came up with a solution. Then the problem was 'Need 70% Air superiority' to land in Southern England. I sorted that as it was due to adding line artillery to the template. First problem was the message that 'No paratroopers in command group'. Try selecting most of the paratroopers and hitting ctrl+h (to remove their orders) so that only a few divisions still have the paratroop order. 6 Paratroopers (weight 5.5 per division) in Brittany airfield, 100 transports airwing sitting on standby in the airport. Plans do not have to be drawn in order to give divisions orders, but are generally recommended as they reduce micromanagement and improve the flow of. At first glance Id say your problem is not enough transports.

I've got a similar problem in my Dutch Rijk game and can't work it out.
