Carrier rebase not working?

[microbe]

Hmm..seems in 1.61 I couldn't rebase bombers to carriers. Maybe I did something wrong but I could do this before.

Is rebasing to carrier the same way as rebasing to cities?

It must not be distance thing. I tried to rebase to a carrier in range and it still didn't work..

Really? Then what Carrier is used for? Just fighters? This doesn't make sense.

Yeah I used to be very active in CIV3 SG playing but I haven't had much time for CIV4. So I learn something.

Still, it doesn't make sense.

Just Fighters. Bombers are to heavy to take off from a Carrier.

I suppose it depends on classification.

Fighter Bombers can, but they are really fighters with bombing capability. I was refering to true bombers.

I agree for game purposes it is all to do with ballance.

It was a medium bomber and not a heavy bomber that the Civ units represent.

i wonder if a b-17 could take off from a modern carrier. almost 1100 feet of deck to try.

Yeah right, balance of power, while AI bombs your resource tiles with an amazingly high percentage of hits with just plain fighter jets (mind you, it does it with only two tries as I see the third plane is circling on a intercept mission), a human player can grow old in trying to do the same on theirs resource tile!
