aircraft carreir help please

tommas · January 1, 2001, 15:22

I can't figure out how to launch a plane from an aircraft carrier. It's like they are just cargo ships for planes. I can unload to an adjacent city, but I can't launch a flight from a carrier.

What is the obvious thing I am missing? Please help.

Thanks.

I had the same problem, and I never did solve it. It's like you can view cargo, but you can't unload it.

Mine work fine when selecting Unload - they come off grouped in the direction you select.

Actually, you can select which plane to unload. Click on the aircraft carrier picture, then pick the plane that you want to launch, and finally click the unload icon.

I've had problems unloading aircraft if the carrier is not the only ship in that tile. I had to move the carrier to another tile, then unload. Don't know why. This is the case even if the carrier and the other ship are not part of the same 'army' (or fleet or task force or whatever).

I used to have this problem too, albeit, not with ships but other units that overlayed with each other. Anyhow, I think what you need to do is select the group of ships (doesn't matter who's on top), then select the Unit tab at the bottom of the screen, and then, click the unit name box to pick which unit to activate or use the arrows.
