Don't if this has been discussed already, but..
I love paratroopers, it's perhaps my favorite non-UU unit. Wars in modern era become interesting with them: can be dropped behind ennemy lines, pillage roads, commercial routes, strategic resources, etc.
Also, their range has been increased to 9 tiles, and the animation with the plane is the coolest ever (would have prefered a C-47 instead!)
AI builds them, but it seems that it's not able to use them properly, I mean by dropping them in ennemy territory. At least I never saw this action in my games.
Do the AI really know to use these units?
And, a funny thing: in late game, it's possible to meet barbarian paratroopers. Since they don't have any territory to be launched from, their ability is quite useless.
