Right now in UV units that are loading up troops pick up healthy (non-disabled) troops first, and only load the disabled troops last. In the case of C-47s, they planes won't load the disabled troops at all. I think this should be reversed to better reflect reality. Generally speaking, when you're loading troops with a significant number of disabled troops, it's to take them back to a rest area - and you want to get the sickest, wounded etc back there the fastest. IRL, when C47s flew to the rear from forward bases, they often took wounded with them - you can't do this today in UV. So, two requests: First, allow C-47s (and Topsys) to carry disrupted units. Second, change the load order so that disrupted units get loaded first. Apologies if this has been already brought up.

Does anyone have a different view on this?

Can you tell I need this capability ASAP for my game with Drex?

well, when your loading an invasion force you'd probably want to load the disabled troops last if at all.

for C-47's, and some transports other than Fast Transports. Many's the time I wished I could send a C-47 within normal range to pick up a unit without getting bogged down at the base..

Agreed, C-47's should have a PICK UP option, just like fast transport TF's

I mentioned this months ago in the development forum and is on the "to do" list I believe.:)
