Status: offline 		Ok quick question, can't AC be crated and shipped on a average joe transport anymore? If so what am I doing wrong.
Don't tell me my carriers are now freight haulers...

AKVs - air transport TF
AKs and xAKs - air transport TF
xAKs, xAKLs and TKs - Transport TF

Dock and load!

Ensure the delivery destination can dock the loaded ship.

Yes, unfortunate wording in that screen. One of the many things that are part of the learning cliff for the interface alone, let alone strategies and tactics.

Since you might run into it sometime, one of the suggestions I had for your problem loading was to check whether the unit was still under a restricted HQ. Many of the US air units I wanted to move early on in my first game turned out to be permanently restricted - and they had the best aircraft and leaders!

The method you allude to is for ship with A/C capacities. For example, AV's, CV's, BB's, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Sometimes we miss the obvious too.

I need to remember KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.

Caveat: never load fuel when you have troops or an air unit already loaded!
