Airport bug

[TheTruth]

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but has anyone experience that when a unit is in a city with an airport that you can put the unit anywhere on the map. Or is this an ability that comes with some modern tech.

game: conquest 1.22

Can you post a save? Step by step procedure on how to reproduce it? Screenshot?

Here is the save game. In order to make it happen, select a unit that is in a city with an airport. Then press 'G' and move your mouse to a square and than press 'shift T'. Now you can move any unit to any square even an ocean square.

I can do this also and there is a little more to it. V1.00 C3+C3C w/PTW

1. Using any unit that can normally be air-lifted, move into a airport/airbase. Give the "go to" command followed by the air-lift command, you'll now be able to drop said unit ANYWHERE, including water tiles and tiles that are currently occupied by a rival civ.

Landing in water leaves the unit(s) stuck there until you bring a transport, etc. over to them at which time they'll load as normal.

Landind on an occupied tile w/rival unit(s) seems to have no effect, as of your next turn unit(s) move as normal.

2. You can do the same as above with Paratroopers by going to airport/airbase, give "go to" command followed by Airdrop command.
But landing in water tiles or already occupied tiles results in "Air drop failed"

So is this a way to abuse the game then? Cuz obviously I don't think it was intended to work this way.
