Helicopters landing on carriers

[Bullseye]

Is it just me, or is this not possible? Seems to be a poorly missed option, as I would love to launch four helicopters from the coast and land a group of paratroopers behind enemy lines to make a mess.

How can I edit the helicopter so that it can land on the carrier? I tried the included editor without sucess.

Also, what is the point of the Aegis cruiser? From it's stats, it seems to have a better movement rate than the Destroyer, and a larger bombardment area, but nothing really special for coming so late in the tech tree. Can it carry cruise missiles?

AEGIS cruisers can see submarines and I think they can carry cruise missiles.

I am disappointed to about the helicopter not being able to land on aircraft carriers.

It would be more realistic to launch troops from the carrier with the helicopter.

One more thing about the paratroopers. I can only perform airdrops 4 squares away from my OWN city. The point with paratroopers is to fly them over enemy territory and launch them out.
This would be a great advantage with several units. This could be maked not so much an advantage by making a ratio of 1 square where they land. They could also be more volunrable while hanging in the skies to antiaircraft things etc.

And Nuclear Subs are also able to carry Cruise Missiles, not just Nukes.
btw. wasn´t it implemented in Civ 2, that Aegis Cruiser and Subs could carry Cruise Missiles?

At the moment Aegis Cruiser cannot carry missile and the nuclear Sub can only carry tactical nuclear and not cruise missile.

There are of course ways to change this in the Civ3mod.bic file using the Civ3Edit. You need to check the cruise missle as also a tactical missile, after that the nuclear sub will be able to carry it. As to the Cruiser, just increase the transport capacity to 1 (or any number) and check can carry tactical missile option.
