Just another example of the shoddy programming in the game.

So came to download a couple updates and found this interesting comment. Nice way to call out ...

You can load cargo onto a ship from a pier

How's that done, I tried once before but it wouldn't work.

I'm sorry, but I took your ...

"contrary to what you wrote, I have never had a problem loading a tank onto a LCAC and having it be transported and deposited in shore."

That's not contrary to what I wrote

Longitude 99 E is correct for Thailand.
Mexico would be W or negative

Hard to say then. The cargo module is quite a shambles really.

I have also noticed that loading tanks onto a ship and giving it landing craft that will take tanks results in no tanks leaving the ship, LCAC's seem to work though for some reason.

You need E or W on the Longitude and they should be in ' not "

I don't think you need the 'DEG' either

I think that might be what's messing it up

Is the infantry unit added via the "Add Unit" in the scenario editor or is it an actual cargo unit?

Cargo missions only work with items added with the cargo interface, not facility ground units added in the Add Unit dialogue of the Scenario Editor

Yes I have experienced similar.
I agree that in that situation any aircraft should override any setting to engage in self defence.

It's quite an omission if the game logic doesn't do that as it's pretty basic aircraft behaviour

Check if it is assigned to a mission and also look inthe Doctrine settings, often those things can cause the Sub AI to countermand your orders

Thanks for the tip on "enters area" being the trigger. Like Whicker, I thought that they should have some time to "form up", but if that will make it work, then that's the way to go.<br/>

I have seen the cargo units go a little crazy too, I think it had to do with no ammo. I think the main issue ...

<t> I don't see the problem with having multiple units in the trigger area. I used "enters area" event trapping so maybe that works better.<br/>
I also assigned the units to a anti surface patrol, rather than attack so they originally would move about within a given region, fighting the defenders ...

As far as I concerned, firing only warning shots and not intend to hit anything is considered a very wasteful, if not futile, effort to stop the unfriendly’s aggression. Many real life ‘warning shots’ are actually intended and lethally ...

I second, or third a better cargo model.

Transferring resupply items fuel, ammunition etc to ships and land bases, repair/construction materials and units (COD brings out a new engine).
