How to know if a device is air transportable

Post by CapAndGown »

I have an SNLF unit I would like to air transport. It has some 37mm AT guns and some 13.2mm AA guns. How can I find out if these are air transportable? I hate fragmenting units. [:-]

There is a size limit (size in the editor, not shown in the game AFAIK). But, I'm not sure if that benchmark works 100% of the time - meaning that it was not consistent (i.e. had bugs) in WITP, and I just haven't messed around with it in AE enough to know.

I recommend you be conservative. Instead of air-transporting them or shipping them, make them walk! [;)][:D]

IIRC, any infantry or engineer-type squad is air-transportable. Other devices have a weight/size limit of <10 (again, IIRC).
