I just finished watching a show on it and noticed something. When the 52 landed and was releasing the troops the top Mg15 was used to protect them. If the Iron Annie is put in this should be made an exclusive feature to it. True a Mg15 wont do much damage but it will spook the nme aircraft and might give you and your troops a fighting chance.

Ya know, I'd like to see this bird too. When I played WarBirds, it was the troop transport. I liked having the 3 machine guns for defense. I don't think I ever shot anybody down, but it made me feel better shooting at them before I went down.

Wish they would ad a door gun to the C-47 too.

I think if we all had a choice in the Hanger of the JU 52, the C 47 or the Tabby, we would take the Tabby. The Tabby was faster than the C 47( which is faster than the JU 52) and the Tabby had one 13mm MG in a dorsal position and two Beam 7mm mg's.

The MG15 will come handy when AH will go to the next step where we can control ground soldier for base capture and base defense.

There you go with that free unsolicited representation again. When in fact, it should read I.

I saw that plane too!, couldnt remember the name but would love to have it, & try shooting down enemeis with the rear 7.7mm gun

and would be pretty interesting plane to fly with 3 engines!
Wonder if one of you're engines got shot if you could take off on middle engine...

no one would fly a ju52 escept in events, the ct or mission theater. its slower then the c47. Para drops are about speed. Brady is correct. Tabby is faster then a c47 if it was introduced people would fly it over the c47.

everyone would fly what the like for ex. brady would take the tabby and i would take the Ju-52:D

Its just "whats best" in your mind i take it.The Ju-52 IMO was a great plane had a good life span aswell. To me it wouldnt feel the same without it.....but thats just me.We all have diff. opinions on what should be added ect. i think the Ju-52 should be added cause it is great fun to fly (have it in WB and my CFS 2 game) she maybe ugly but 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder':p and would add the 'famous' German ww2 Transport to AH.

I would fly the Ju52 over C47 anytime, and im not a dedicated LW pilot. Reasons:

3 engines
some defensive guns
a very welcome change from the trusty but dull C47
