Paradrops in Civ2 shot down?

[Colwyn]

Units with the AA flag do they have a chance to shot down unit paradrops as well as airlifts b/w cities.

If so what are the details

[Mercator]

I don't think so.

[curtsibling]

Nope - Paradrops can only be stopped by range and the target square being owned by another unit.

[Colwyn]

I though so but wanted to check, now by the way does the AI use them?

I've seen them use them only when you have a city in range with no defenders ie as per Redfront.

Has anyone else seen the AI drop a para unit elsewhere??

[H Tower]

nope

[Boco]

Never. Seen some occasions where they didn't hop to a vacant city in range, but I couldn't figure out what caused that.
