Unable to Transport Infantry

Post by joseph66hole »

Follow me: I am using the cold war database. I send a US CH21 to pick up 2 South Nam platoons. I airlift them and unload. However, the platoons transform into Generic Mobile Vehicles. They also switch to the US side. I am just trying to transport troops.

My air assault turns into a truck delivery.

Thanks

While experimenting within the Cargo tutorial, it seems to me that the behavior the OP is describing matches that thread :
[FIXED B1147.39] 1147_38 Units unloading the square of their cargo

In other words, it seems to be working as designed. That is : when a unit is transported, it is transformed into either a generic "#2987 - Inf (Generic - 0", or a "#2990 - Landed Detachment (Generic - 0)" with a specialized mount.

The thing is that the Generic units have a standard signature and that could be something to keep in mind if the scenario involve relocating a spec ops unit, such as a US Navy SEAL Recon team, which have a signature of 0.

Now, as for the side switching : if you do pickup a friendly side's unit that you then "Unload", its side is changed to the transporter's side. Idem for a unit transported from a shared facility with a Cargo mission.
