  • Aircraft Carrier questions

    Can they be used to drop paratroopers?

    Can they be used for helicopter deployments of infantry?

    That would be so cool...is it possible?

    Considering I never built helicopter, nor paratroopers, I must avoid to reply, but...

    AFAIK in Civ 3 a paratrooper only jump from a city. About helicopter deploying infantry from an aircraft... sorry, but AFAIK again you can't load a transporter into a transporter (an Army is a particular case of "transport"). So you can't load helicopter over a carrier.

    No class Tarawa units, it seems.

      IIRC

      No

      although it would be good, you might be able to edit it though

        I guess the biggest problem is that, correct me if I'm wrong, carriers can't hold land units. Thus you could never drop infantry from a carrier-based helicopter because the infantry couldn't be stationed on the carrier to begin with.

        Or have I missed something?

          You could set the editor to allow a carrier to carry one land unit and try and let it do paradrops. It could be like the marines helicopter carriers
