Aircraft Carrier questions Increase the size of your Attachments

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

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

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?

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

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
