I love the Paratrooper in BNW. The range extended to 9 tiles from 5(?), which finally makes it useful to drop behind enemy lines in an offensive war where your units are usually already 2-5 tiles in enemy lands.
It also has the 'no movement cost for pillaging' promotion which is fun to use. People have been asking for bombers to be able to pillage improvements: now you have such an unit.
And with the new XCOM Squad, it has a powerful upgrade path. XCOM is way better then the giant robot, especially because it is on tech path of the science victory. You really want to beeline to the Hubble and Space factory, before going to the top half of the tech tree for the other space parts.
What are the experiences of others with the new Paratrooper?
