If I recall correctly , SST's MAY not carry USMC raiders , as in real life , but must carry USMC para's. Don't they require disembarking from a large port? And don't they have to be in an odd setting, not combat? Strat? Or move? Any assistance from the brethern would be greatly appreciated.

I've been able to load up and evacuate parts of a cut off unit with subs, which really is the only way I use them.

Although I think if the sub transport was a problem, why not have it so only the SSTs can do the job?

I like to use them as they were historically used by the USN , to insert USMC Raiders behind the lines to "annoy" the Japanese. Unfortunately , I can't. Supposedly I can do that with USMC para's , but I'm not having much luck.

And yes , I know a lot of JFB's consider it "gamey". But it's historically accurate, and it keeps the Japanese "honest" , by forcing them to leave small garrisons (as in real life) on small islands.

i seem to recall that you must have 'air superiority' (as determined by the game-engine) in order to load troops on an SST. i take that to mean 'air supremacy', so if Emily is scouting Pearl, you won't be able to load troops there.

IOW, you must load your cdo's further away from their objective than you'd prefer, and should check their fatigue/disrupt level before you let them assault.

I've been through the manual several times now , but can't find if I need to load in a certain size port. I've been trying in a size 4. Maybe I need a size 7?
