aircraft mode paratroopers must convert into land mode immediately

That prevents the ability to spam, like take one airbase than string them like that.I remember it from looking from the hearing this. that is why it is implemented last I heard.

I think most people’s problems with paratroopers is that the mobilisation time is way too long, not that it should not take some time. For example my paras landed and took 9 hours to mobilise, at which time my main advance had caught up and so nearly negating the use that they have by dropping behind enemy lines. Even if this time was reduced to 2 hours I think it would be ten times better.

But Honestly it would be cool to have no mobilization time for dropped paratroopers. But just ask any mod that question (people in green in the form)

Or the mobilisation could be eliminated but we can only change the infantry stance to air stance in airports.

Historically, landed paratroopers had a mobilization time of about a day or two to get completely organized, which in game would be a negligible amount of time. I get that the time limit is for the purpose of balancing but as it stands currently paratroopers are pretty underpowered. I think a mobilization time of maybe 15-30 minutes would be understandable but any more cripples them significantly. Additionally, considering most paratroopers of the time deployed out of either towed gliders or cargo planes it definitely makes sense that you could only convert them to air mode at an airfield
