Currently air assaulting seems like a very risky and unwise choice. This is because they are very slow and can be seen at least 1 hour before they drop in, and take another hour to deploy. Though, the speed and deploy time are realistic and balanced. The main problem is that unlike your helicopter gunships and attack helicopters, air superiority fighters cannot escort your air mobile infantry. This makes them very easy to shoot down and not worth the risk at all.
With the Security Council Membership, you should be given an escort feature, or possibly just an already in game ability. This will be helpful for you allies and protecting their convoys. You can escort your own convoys by merging them with your destroyers/cruisers. However, you cannot do this with your allies convoys. If we were given an escort feature we would be able to protect our allies convoys, keeping at the same speed. I personally join coalitions to provide specific roles for each member. Some go for more air force, others for more ground. Though, because you cannot escort you allies convoys, everyone is required to get a navy, which is a serious pain. This new feature would allow only half of the coalition to need a navy and still be assured of the safety of their allies.
Along with this, an escort feature would play a very good role in air assaults and air lifts. There is no way currently to protect those units unless you are online all the way through to keep you air force next to your choppers and transport planes.
Please consider this!
