I've seen that unusually high number of paratroopers being dropped as well, with limited ammo being set. This was in a co-op mission online, one player flew a C-47 and dropped paratroopers only to be astounded by dozens of the paras being dropped. So many that he was unable to turn away from enemy lines and dropped a bunch of them in a long line right into an enemy artillery position, which promptly opened up on the exposed troops on the ground. Reminded me of the ill fated drop in Holland (of "A Bridge Too Far" fame). It was like having a whole squadron of planes dropping paras at once, but this was only one plane.

I wrote it off to an obscure bug or mod conflict, but haven't tried recreating the incident since then.
