Bomber as Helicopter-like Transport

[Andrew_Jay]

Any ideas about whether the Bomber can be made to act like the helicopter and deliver ground units? I've tried copying all the of the Helicopter's attributes over to the bomber . . . wait, as I type this I've realised that I didn't change the Bomber's capacity from zero. Anyway, incase that doesn't work I'll keep doing the post. My thinking was it wouldn't work because of the special animation for the Helicopter landing and taking-off.

there's actually an Air Transport (plane) unit available.

I got it right after, it worked fine. I'm guessing this is player created, this "Air Transport". I'd prefer to keep the unit numbers down and have some flexibility. No wondering if you'll need to airdrop units in the future and have to weight transport planes against bombers.

[zulu9812]

so you want a bomber that can bomb AND transport?

[Andrew_Jay]

Exactly, you can shoose to have it drop of some infantry, or have it bomb. Though I suppose it could be rather unfortunate if you accidently send it bombing with guys inside (yet room for bombs too . . .) and it gets shot down.

Usually, what you're trying to accomplish is referred to as a Paratrooper. It's kind of implied that there's a plane to drop them off at their landing points.
