loading units to cargo helicopter

[Nemo]

ok, i am eviently doing somehting wrong, but not sure what. for some reason i cant get my artillary onto my cargo helicopter. i tried in/outside of cities, with/without units asleep, un/grouped, and i even tried it with the "load cargo" button. but all i keep getting is an empty helicopter or a piano key chime for it being an invalid action. what gives?

[Zardos]

I think I remember reading somewhere that the cargo helicopter can only carry infantry troops. Sorry, you can't airdrop those tanks just yet...

[Matte979]

It is depending on the size. Artillery is medium. Cargo Helicopter can only carry small. For some strange reson a tank is small, probly a bugg..

you can only load infantry - no artillery, no tanks, no horse riders

Whether Tanks should load is arguable. Somehow I think that was a mistake in the Units.txt file. But it says Tanks are a 'Small' land unit, and thus can ride in the choppers. I do it all the time.

Yeah, I thought tanks wouldn't load either from what I had read here. Surprise, surprise, I've got a cargo heli with 4 tanks on board as we speak... They inadvertently got picked up because they were asleep in the city that built the heli! I know settlers work too!

If you think about it one of those big weirdy shaped mother****ers of helicopters was specially modified to carry 3 M1Abrams during the Desert Storm.

where'd I hear that
