reported UH-60A Cannot Land or Take Off from Ships

[ia_pro1691]

I feel like this is new, or a bug, but every other helicopter (AI) can take off and land from ships, but whenever you place a UH-60A (default AI Blackhawk) and try to set it to land on or take off from a ship, it snaps to a land based airport.

EDIT: I can get one to take off from a CVN or Tarawa, but can't direct it to land on one, or a Burke, Tico, etc.

Tested with the Burke and Ticonderoga. None of these helicopters are allowed to land/take off:

• Mi-24V
• Mi-28N
• Mi-8MTV2 (maybe too big?)
• UH-60A
• CH-47 (expected, too big)
• CH-53 (expected, too big)
• Mi-26 (expected, too big)

Strangely though, the Mi-24P and the SH-60 can.

Issue reported. Thanks for the heads up.

Just came here to report.  Glad to see it reported and confirmed as a defect.  Hopefully this can get resolved and into the upcoming patch.

I placed a UH60A on the SC and it took of normal. I could not give him a Landing WP on the deck. So at his WP 4 it turned direction coast. I placed a Huey and it did land on the SC. But please watch the track to the end and you`ll be surprised what the UH 60A did.

i watched track and the UH-60 landed. i think AI logic makes the AC go to closest friendly airfield. in this case, the SC.

This is still bugged. Helicopters can land and take off from the actual aircraft carrier, but can not be placed for take off or land on destroyers/cruiser. Always defaults to nearest land base, or the super carrier for landing, but you can not give a landing waypoint on the super carrier.
