Preload transports with troops/vehicles at missionstart

[Don Rudi]

I would love to see a function in the ME, where I can set a transport (helo, APC or transport plane) with a specific cargo at mission start.

E.g. An IL-76 with a pair of BTR-80s that is enroute to an airfield and can unload the vehicles upon landing. 

Of troops already loaded/embarked to an APC/IFV or helicopter, removing the need to pick them up first.

This would be a huge boost of the transportation system imho.

We can now load troops on helicopters and IFVs from the start you just click the check box when loading. I'd love to have this box added to cargo and give vehicles the ability to embark on other vehicles. Then for unloading I would love to see an option for paradops.  Also I want to see ED add functionality to the landing craft.

I would like that function to actually work reliably...

Mind sharing examples where it failed ?

@upyr1 last time i tested it, it just did not work most of the time. sometimes it flatout did not work at all, sometimes it kinda worked but produced buggy behaviour... infantry units going missing, or infantry AI being wonky after disembarkment... i did test with ground vehicles only. maybe it works better with helicopters?

haven't tested it since.
