I dont think it would be particularly useful outside of a ToD. I dont see that as a reason not to add it, however, since 80% of the planes we have now aren't used in the MA. The CT and SEA would use it regularly of course.
The most likely use in the MA would be as a troop/cargo plane that could be available at a port. Since the C47 is not available from ports, that could be a significant addition to troop and cargo capability.
One thing is, even though its slower than a C47, it does at least have some defensive guns, so that probably would even it all out.
