one of the rules is that a regimental drop is more likely to scatter than a divisional one. So I agree you are most likely to lose at least one para drop, esp as there is a risk of scattering into the sea. The main gain from paras is they generate a lot of interdiction - a worthwhile question is in Sicily do you need that interdiction? The Axis are not going to reinforce the coast, the Italian units in the landing areas are pretty much doomed in any case - so you are not hindering re-supply. Beware: there is no such thing as a night time AS. You can run the night intruder mission but that only works over enemy airbases - designed to catch returning bombers and night fighters when they are very vulnerable. More generally, its not axis aircraft that are scattering your paras, its a combination of inexperience, flak and the regimental size.
