My issue with paratroops in either MBT version is the length of the drop-zone.

It seems like a transport will disgorge its troops over an area several kilometers long, as opposed to several hundred meters.

Having a company spread out over 15-20 hexes (7.5Kms - 10Kms) means you have to spend considerable time regrouping, as opposed to if they were dropped in 4-5 hexes (which, at 200-250 meters, would more closely approximate a real drop-zone).

My two cents . . .
