wildcolonialboy -> Air assault against ISIS Niger - CH-53E landing (10/21/2017 9:56:27 PM)

Greetings, I'm currently creating a scenario based on the Niger ISIS attack. In this scenario, the US is launching a large counter-attack on amassed ISIS forces in Niger, and a faction of the Niger military has decided to support them. There's an America-class amphib carrier off the coast and the helicopters will fly through Benin airspace to get to Niger. I've also placed a small airfield in Benin which has two KC-130s and two AC-130U to provide refuelling and airstrike support to the marines and SEALs. I plan to send these troops on six CH-53Es. You can select a loadout that has 16 SEALs or a number of marines, and they are characterised as a weapons system on the helicopter. I was hoping this means the helicopter can actually land troops. So I CTRL-F1ed assuming it would be a BOL launch that would cause a ground unit to appear. I brought the Stallion to minimum altitude and hover, however it says re the 16X SEAL commando, "16X can NOT fire. Target is out of weapons range". I did the BOL co-ordinate literally at the same co-ordinate as the helicopter so I don't see how it could be out of range. Can you actually land troops this way, or is the 16x SEAL commandos basically just eye candy and I would have to create some kind of trigger event and make those SEALs appear on the ground by way of a new creation
