Makes sense really how often are airbourne troops used, would rather slightly less rather than more than reality.

The AI has a preference for heliborne assault in river crossings, since it makes sense there.

Heliborne assault needs a lot of points, and is more likely to occur with armies that have lots of choppers - like Russians, USA but not so much say iraquis.

AI does sometimes buy helicopter transport in meeting engagements, and will tend to bring them in as late reinforcements to try to snatch an objective cluster.

Its easy to figure out how often and at what sort of points these things occur by making AI purchases in the battle generator.
Set the points and battle type and opponents
select auto purchase for both sides
select human deply for both sides
generate the battle
examine each sides purchases in deployment
exit the test game
repeat a sufficient time so that you are familiar with what it does at that points level. then try say doubling points and trying another 20-30 test buys.
