Because you can't read the part where it says the helicopters can't capture cities. Truly, if you had done that, you wouldn't be foaming out the mouth making yourself look like an idiot. It isn't like the drawback isn't documented, and it isn't something unique to CivV, given helicopters couldn't do it in CivIV either.
Seriously, try building up your reading comprehension and vocabulary. If you're going to blow your brains out because you can't read, that says more about you and less about the game.
Did you try using a tank?
Plus realistically helicopters can't secure cities they need ground troops to do so. I know your mad and all but maybe watch the language a bit.
Really. I know the could do it in civ 4. I did so. I'd better erase my cussing be for I get an infraction.

Uhh... I would take a while to get one over seas, so I got a heli.

Yeah, but if its the last capital and at near no-health, I'm assuming you have bombers already pounding the remnants to nothing, so time wouldn't really matter much, would it?

I think that they should allow siege units and helos to capture cities, but then the city automatically begins to be razed because those troops can't "occupy" a city, it must be destroyed.
Siege and helicopters can't clean up buildings/ruins/cellars. Allowing archers/cb/xbows to capture cities would make more sense as they can clean up buildings. Of course, if that was allowed we would never make other units than archers/cb/xbows until maybe cannons/artillery - melee units would be a rare sight
A military can't really secure and occupy a piece of land 100% without having boots on the ground.
I pretty much just went to his border with carriers and nuked it 3 times and it could be a manner of a few turns before Hiawatha moves his forces to his capital. At least I saved before the war. TY for the advice.
You're sort of following my line of thought, but not quite. Because a helo or siege unit can't clear buildings, they resort to blasting the hell out of it instead. Hence the automatic razing.
I take as my example the Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire England. It was built in the 1200s. In the English Civil War it was captured by the Roundheads. They took the castle with cannon. They were unable or unwilling to garrison it, so they stuffed the central keep with gunpowder and blew it up to keep it from being used by the royalists again. They sapped the walls and drained the moat too.
Everyong keeps saying this, but it also applies to tanks. And no, tanks can't clean out basements or whatever.

That said, I agree that balance is key here. It would be too much if Helis could sieze cities given their awesome movement.
Why the can't a heli capture a city that has no health! This game it was the last capital. IDK but I want to blow my brains out because of this game. Civ 5 and this nonsense.
