maybe use them to fly supply to a counterattack you are making or to a pocket that you want to hold for a bit.
Might be able to sneak them under allied fighter coverage . . .

I use them ALLOT they are major work horses. I just started to figure out how hugely important they can be.

There are allot of them, but not nearly enough.

They should be used to fly supplies to you Panzer Corp in 1943 that crush any Allies landings and can be used to fly in supplies to cut of units

or be used to fly in supplies to areas that have been cut off ( rail lines bombed )to keep supplies to front line units.

I wish I had more.

How, exactly, do you make an airdrop? I don't feel like the manual is complete on this (or Air Transfer). I get F9 to open the menu, but having trouble making it work.

I remember in WITE it wasn't intuitive either, and I needed some remedial help

Damn Q, you just made me realize how vulnerable Sardinia and Corsica could be once you've taken them and troops have moved off. A para drop would really screw the WA player.
