Initially, the paratroopers get to attack, they fight the units they have attack untill a result is come to, then they start mobilising, and can only defend during that period.
Paratrooper mobilisation period
I have seen conflicting reports of how long the period is once their boots hit the ground. Whatever it is, do they attack an enemy province instantly, or does this mobilisation period allow the defender a grace period to kill them before they can attack? Are they weaker on defence than usual, during the mobilisation period?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the initial attack occurs when the paratrooper is still in "flight" mode, no?noblebright wrote:

No. They fly until they hit the target, when they hit the target they transition into normal paratroopers who can both defend and attack. This lasts until all enemies within combat range are dead. Then they mobilise for around 5 hours (I'm not sure about the exact figure but between 4 and 6.) When they have finished mobilizing, they turn into normal land troops that can move, defend and attack. If on an airfield, they can transition back._Pyth0n_ wrote:

So if i direct attack an AA unit with a paratrooper, you're saying it would deal the defensive dmg vs aircraft, or the defensive dmg vs unarmored?noblebright wrote:

First to aircraft and then to unarmoured._Pyth0n_ wrote:

So dont paratroop on AA guns.
drop em into flak fire 
Defense fires first so damage will occur on the plane then the paratrooper will land and attack the AA gun, paratroopers will most likely win the battle but lose some of their strength
