Everytime I use them I have to unload each one my self, is there a way so the ships unload with out me choosing where each one unloads?

take your transports and set them to repeat.
Issue an area load order on the pick up point followed by an area unload at the drop ffo point, then issue a move order back to the pick up point.
Any units that stray into the pick up point will be transported to the drop off point automatically.
Draw a circle around the pick up point and drop off point and tell some factories to move units to that point

ok, but they will only unload 1 or 2 units then stop unless I mirco manage them.

I know this is not a real solution, but try using hovercrafts instead of transported tanks/kbots.

But if what you want is surprise, then you should make a amphibious transport...
(you wouldnt really need to go up the whole vehicle tech tree cause you can make then from amphibious complexes)
