Does anyone know if it's possible to load an aircraft into a land vehicle? So far, I can't figure out a way to rebase an aircraft to a land unit. My idea here is to create a UAV unit that moves with the ground troops and carries a Predator Drone for recon and close air support. The other option is allow a ground unit to undertake air missions. I can't find a way to do this either. Not sure how useful this might be, given the fact that most ground operations are within range of regular aircraft.
The other question is, is it possible to get the AI to use an aircraft only for ASW duties? I am designing an Arliegh Burk DD for the game, which carries 2 Seahawk ASW helicopters. I am also planning to design a Blackhawk/Seahawk helo model to go with this. If I create an aircraft with heavy bonuses for attacking subs, and perhaps heavy penalties for attacking other units, and give it the Sea Assault AI, will the AI use it for ASW and recon only, or will it use it at all? Or will it use it like any other air unit and try to attack ground targets?
I'll try to do some trial runs when I get the time. I just want to see if anyone else has already tried, saving me from having to do it again.
