### 3/5 — Shooting the parachute has no advantage

*2020-03-10, version 1.4*

Shooting the parachute and dropping a paratrooper on the head of another paratrooper does not eliminate the first guy who landed, which is a serious design flaw compared to the original.

### 5/5 — Thanks

### 4/5 — Blast from the past

*2019-09-21, version 1.4*
