The issue have been mentioned first by joseph66hole. Here is a test scenario describing the situation.
Cargo Test - Side Permutation
This is a test scenario designed to showcase what I feel is an issue with cargo operations in CMO : that transported unit having its side reassigned according to its transporter platform's side.
Created by Claude J, based on Andrea D.'s Cargo tutorial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission start : 1300Z
Duration : 4 hours
Side switching when manually picking up a unit
Whenever you feel like it, launch Aldebaran #1 from Trapani airfield (Quick jump #1).
With that MV-22, go to Corleone (Quick jump #2, 100°, 38 nm) and pick up a UN observation team, code-named "Don".
Fly to Taormina (Quick jump #3, 87°, 94 nm), and there, unload your passengers.
Observe that its side is now NATO.
Side switching when dropping a unit through a Cargo mission
At 1305Z, a mission will be initiated, by the NATO side, to airdrop 10 NATO personnel from Catania airfield.
Observe that upon dropping, their side will be NATO.
At 1307Z, a mission will be initiated, by the UN side, to airdrop 10 NATO personnel from Catania airfield.
Observe that upon dropping, their side will be UN.
Note : all personnel is from NATO side, since it have been added to the facility while having that side selected.
Expected result :
It is my opinion that this behavior should be prevented, as it might mess up scenario mechanism such as triggers and balance.
Ideally, the side should be kept as is. A middle ground would be to not be able to transport another side's units.
