Steps To Reproduce
  • use editor
  • use unit BLUFOR air CH-67 Huron (AI)
  • place a container NATO (support) on the map
  • waypoint for CH-67 Huron; lift cargo (on container) -> drop cargo (on your position)
Additional Information

i tried it with the CH-67 Huron. the helicopter "drops" the cargo (cargo is on the ground) but the cargo is still connected to the helicopter on the ropes and the helicopter does not fly to the next waypoint.
i can shoot the ropes from the cargo off but it should work correctly.
i tried it with a car (suv) that works fine but not with the container (support) but i have not tried it yet with all objects.

Same problem here!

Yeap same problem

New added Containers for CH-67 Huron (Fuel, Cargo, Ammo, Medical and Repair) has the same problem. AI pick them up fine, but Waypoint Drop Cargo does not work.
AI get stuck never drops the cargo and never completes waypoint.

I tried this today ->

  • use editor
  • use unit BLUFOR air CH-67 Huron (AI)
  • place a container NATO (support) on the map
  • waypoint for CH-67 Huron; lift cargo (on container) -> drop cargo (on your position)

and for me it works.
Maybe solved with the 1.36 Patch.
Thanks!

Maybe it's working for containers, but not for vehicles. Tried it with CH-67 Huron + Hunter and it was awful. The helicopter didn't drop anything, he flew around in circles. Editor + MP mode.

Same problem - sometimes using a larger completion radius help but not always

When the chopper gets to the "Drop Cargo" Waypoint; it just flys around sideways in a big circle!!

It also has the same issue if you try this in Zeus using AI.

Issue is still present in 1.42
