Carriers

[PRIMEMOVER]

A question for those out there that can offer me a clue...

I'm having trouble unloading or utilizing carrier based air units. Seems I can't activate a unit once placed on a carrier for any missions at all. The carrier will move and I can give it orders, but not the units on the carrier itself.

I've tried every keystroke, every keyboard shortcut...nothing.

What am I missing? I don't build carriers anymore because it renders the air units on it worthless for me.

Right-click on the tile with the carrier - should bring up a list of units in the tile, including the aircraft on the carrier. It will either say "Activate Fighter" or "Wake Fighter". Click on the unit you want to activate, and they should become the active unit.

This applies to any group of units in a single tile. And you can activate groups of units at once, by holding down the shift key (I think, might be control, it's easier to do it than to remember it )
