It seems like airborne will be a popular unit for human players to use. How likely (not at all -> 'market-garden' use) will the AI use airborne? Would be a shame if you always knew you didn't have to worry about garrisons in Berlin.

As long as the AI doesnt use them as in HoI3 its fine with me. ''Our AI cheat-radar sees that you left your capitol open for 5 seconds, here is a paratrooper division.'' Never saw them used in any other instance by the AI.
I think paradrop operations should almost be like amphibious invasions, something that has to be planned out well in advance. Solves the problem Ynen noted, and keeps the AI (and the player) from using such drops uselessly. How to get the AI to plan for and then use them non-artificial intelligently is a different matter.
The AI in HOI3 was able to pull off airborne attacks, so the AI in HOI4 hopefully will be able to. Actually, even the AI in HOI2 could pull off an airborne attack (albeit one that was obviously scripted - the AI would attack Oslo with paras, it was the only para attack it would carry out, you would even see a suicidal para attack made against Oslo when it was massively garrisoned)
