In PBEMs I have faced oppos who tried to drop paratroop formations but nearly always with disastorous result for the paratroopers - it is seldom a good idea to drop paras on the immediate frontline I guess.

Some Oppos have been good at using air mobile tactics with gunships and helicopters, however.
