I like the paratrooper doctrine

...
Is there any tips here? Can I do something more better?

Is this the right section for these questions? I don't understand this website so much still

First, here are some guides about USF, including AB:

Second: which mode? 1v1? 2v2+?
IMHO, proper positioning and constant agression is half the battle. I.e. have your fancy M19 Paras a bit behind some Rear Echelons really helps, outcapping the enemy, baiting into Shermans with HE rounds, or having some Pak Howis... that sort of stuff.

Anyways... basically depends on where exactly you struggle.
A replay of yours might help.

Just keep playing, there is no secret to learn.

If all else fails, play ask OKw and see how others beat you using what you struggle against.

Or watch some games or shout casts

I have been watching the EU ESL thing on twitch, but the professionals seem to only play with blob tactics as OKW or wait for Stalin tank as Russia.

I barely ever see blobs between decently skilled players, for obvious reasons.

Shout casts, what are this? I have played as okw a few times and find them to be very easy, I have not lost a game with that army since I have company of heroes 2. I believe I have now 12 wins to 0 losings.

airborne is mid tier to mediocre at best and part of the reason you're getting rolled over by silly things like LEIG and shrek blobs

Its the coolest commander(I love airborne and paratroopers as evidenced by my profile pic) but it just really falls short in all aspects compared to other commanders.

I decided to play intensively Para during a month, i went down from top200 to top700 in 1sv1 and 2vs2, now I gaining rank again since I don't use it anymore

Para and pathfinders are too expensive and too squishy and they do not have smoke nades.
No smoke = in trouble vs a defensive Ostheer
Too expensive = Heavy MP bleed vs OKW with 1 or 2 LEIG or vs Luch
This + the nerf of the bombing run.

The doctrine is funny and I think a lot of people like it, but it is definitively not meta in this current state of the game.

You have 3 basic doctrines (including Para).
Armor is basically really good if you decide to go T1 and T2, the M30 you get CP9 is a really good Tank Destroyer (zero dps vs infantry) for your late game.
Infantry company is good if you plan to go T2 first (captain), M1919 on your rifles make them beasty, you can build sandbags wall and plant mines, you can call a mortar if you want, you have a useful off-map arty and if you really need it a Priest to arty your enemy position. I do not recommend you to build the mortar or the priest every game, see if you really need them.

Next you have 5 other commanders you may drop as warspoil or buy it as DLC. To make it short if you decide to buy some: Perhsing commander and Calliope commander are the best one. The other 3 are far less interesting and require you to gain some skill in the game and gameplay to correctly use them and gain benefice from.
