noname19 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 V19.6.HF2 Recently I have found really annoying feature. Chinook and Shrike both have same range and it's not enough to reach anywhere on map where you need them. My base is in Middle East. Alien base is in top-west America. As I can't transport soldiers and chinook to another base that is closer (CTD while assigning soldiers to transport while they are not in first base), I can't reach that alien base. It's sucking money out of America and I can't do anything to stop it. The same problem would be with terror mission or crashed UFOs. And relocating people and transport to different base just for single attack and then relocating them back would be pain even if it worked. The obvious solution to that is increasing transport range so they can reach anywhere on globe. So far, they can reach *most* of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noname19 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 The problem with only first base being able to equip / assign soldiers is a known issue, but the range... never seen it even though I searched for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah, they've increased the range a couple time now, but I think other people have reported it still can't get everywhere. You might file a bug report in the experimental bug report section. One question, did you leave with a full fuel load? If you recently returned from a mission and left again right away the Chinook might not have been fully fueled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname19 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I am absolutely sure I left with full fuel load. It's fuel runs down to 50 percent just before enemy base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
