Helicopter how to?

[sandy]

Can you make Helicopters land on a carrier? I had hoped to make up a small helicopter carrier but I can't seem to get any to land on it.

I hate posting new topics for such a seemingly trival question but I am fed up, even a yes or no answer would be fine.

tranport units can not carry other transport units.

Other threads went for that topic but here is a quick summary (hopefully I am not wrong).

Standard helicopter in Vanilla Civ 3 / PTW is considered a unit transport.

An helicopter carrier would be a unit transport too.

Now, you cannot load a unit transport in another one (except for armies).

So it is possible only if you use gunships (attack helicopters without any transport ability) but it is NO if you want to use the carrier as a deployment base for infantry by helicopters.

thanks guys, question answered and some more.

It would have been a nice unit, bit like the US Marines kit and the Brits Ocean class Assault ships/Helicopter crusiers
