Helicopters use movement bonuses from roads

[Oddible]

Helicopters should ignore terrain bonuses and get a flat movement rate except over mountains. Also should be able to fly over forest / hills / other units without penalty.

Now that's just funny. Can they also not go into water tiles?

They can go into water tiles. They just... turn into boats, because they embark like land units do.

Firaxis why are Helis so lame post-Civ5 T_T plz make them work like hover units do in Beyond Earth.

Same for the balloons should be able to fly across mountains etc but behaves just like a land unit.

How can they make the same mistake again? Don't they keep notes?

I think a *facepalm* is in order.

I don't think this is a "mistake". Maybe Firaxis doesn't want proper hover units in mainline Civ games for whatever reasons, so these units just end up being land units with air unit models
