It has been a long time since last time I tried a unit airdrop, but I was allways capable of doing that following the wikia instructions..

Now , when I follow the instructions (F1, select airdropable unit ,unselect airbase; F9 , shift+left mouse click on target) the airdrop marker appears in the hex intended but the window to select unit/transports doesn�t appear...and the units doesn�t drop

Any on the operative since 1.05 that I�m not aware?

For the record , I was trying to drop a russian airborne brigade stacked in an airbase with 5 groups of ready Li-2 transports to an enemy hex as near as 8 hexes

The capability does seem very random even when you met all the requirements detailed within the rules. Sometimes I can get it to work -- other times I can't.

Me too, just keep trying and sometimes suddenly you can. Otherwise, I think the unit has to have minimum 40% experience. Could be the problem.

server game, so no savefile available

, I will check experience as suggested, and double check base hex , to assure it is only light woods (using an hex in karelia and the terrain over there can play silly games with my tired eyes)

You can point opponents names and turn number. I can download it.

Just thought that you probably experiencing issue with ammo shortage for the transports. It became more visible with fixed aircraft data file. It will be fixed in coming patch.
