dukemat Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) how do you increase the capacity of the transport helicopter? it looks like it could carry twice as many troops. Edited January 14, 2016 by dukemat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebah Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 You can research alien technology to eventually produce a new dropship able to carry more soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranak Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 You could also open aircrafts.xml and change the number of soldiers it can carry if you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axiomatic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 You can edit aircrafts.xml in Excel Maximum is: Chinook (6 rows x 3 columns =18 transport cells) - it can transport 9 soldiers + 1 vehicle (or 11 soldiers) Shrike (5x4=20) - 11+1 (or 13) Valkyrie (6x4=24)- 15+1 (or 6+2, or 17) So, you need to change cells on: 11 1 13 1 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebah Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Oh! I want to research and fly around the human base airplane. If I can fully load that, the aliens won't have a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeronautEdward Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The way I think of it is that the heil can only carry as many people as the rows on the sides, unless the dropship is wide enough to have at least a 1 tile wide column between the side and center seats, as you aren't going to stand without any restraints on a helicopter. EXAMPLE. So I have a trasport craft, that is 4 tiles and 6 tiles long. I would have 12 seats, because I have 2 rows on the side with 6 tiles long, or seats. Now my engineers have made a better dropship, that is 6 tiles wide and 12 tiles long. I could fit 48 seats, because I can fit 12 seats on the sides with a 2-seat wide center row. It's the same system passenger planes use. Tanks are 3x3, so in a 6x3 dropship, you could fit 2 tanks. But because tanks are way more heavy than soldiers, the Charlie could only lift one, because it would be too heavy for 2 tanks. Shrike could carry about 3 or 2, and Valkary could fit as many tanks that could fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
