I agree with the other comments that say they shouldn't fly over the ocean. However, as a happy medium between flying over ocean and not being able to go over water at all, how about make them able to fly over coast and lakes but not ocean?

unfortunately this doesnt work on helicopters that are not newly built (but upgraded from anti tank canon) otherwise great mod!

They can fly over the ocean. Just like somebody said, Civ 5's scale is comical.

This is a great idea. I especially like the idea of turning them into ranged units, since it makes it so they can't capture cities (which is kind of nonsensical).

They can't fly far and long. Civ 5's scale comical. In terms of gameplay, being able to fly over the ocean in this game would make it a blue water unit. It's not, nor should it be.

Rather than them not being able to fly over ocean, why not make it so they take say, 10 damage a turn for each turn they are in the ocean, sorta like fuel, an insentive not to just fly all over the sea but still some realism as Helicopters on NAVY vessels and rescue helicopters can fly over ocean, just an idea

Of course! Helicopters can't fly over ocean, that's why naval helicopters don't exist!


Wait...

PapyMouton_99 I don't think heli should be able to fly over ocean, they can't irl either. But you can still airlift them to other continents.

So he can't go anymore on the oceans tiles ?
(sorry for my bad english)

You have no idea how much it bugged me that helicopters turned into ships instead of hovering over the coast as it should.
