the ME323 is way to big i would rather use the JU 52 and if you are playing axis vs allies the axis dont get the C47

Yes, they do.

Considering the C-47 is the only plane in this game that carries troops, if there IS a setup where you have axis vs allies, and there is the option of capturing fields, then both sides will get the option of the C-47.

The AvA arena is not about base capturing and winning the war. You have the four Main Arenas for that.

I really don't use them but a few guys in the squad do, so I would like the JU52 just for the historical element. We only fly luft, and it's a bit of an immersive let down when capping off a nice victory with the C47 instead of a JU52.

I would also like the German Halftrack, for the same reasons.

AvA does not need a transport at all, but the HE111 would be great for the maps and planesets there. While slow, underarmed and releatively light load, the HE111 is just darn cool looking!

Shoot that's three of my top four on my wishlist...Panther being the other of course.

Bring in Iron Annie !

He 111 H20/R1 carried 16 paratroops,toward the end of the war,it was used increasingly as a Transport,rather than a Bomber.

Tough as a Dc3,certainly,with a top speed around 250mph,faster as well. They were also known for surviving heavy battle damage.

Faster than the Ju 52/3.,which is the other, and most obvious Axis choice ,but it's speed..err,or lack of it ,would make it a Hanger Queen.

The He111,gives us a much needed Axis Bomber and an Alternative,Axis Transport.

I'm surprised it's not here already:)

battel gnome if the allieds have the C47 in a setup then the Axis will to, but AvA is not a base capure arena. Its about the fights in there if you want milking goto the MA.

By the way, the Reason you don't see the He111 used in this role very often is because by the time it was availible the Germans had stopped using Their fallschirmjaeger in Large actions due to their heavy casulties at Crete in 1941.

After this point they became elite foot soldiers for the most part,just as most paratroop regiments are today,they rarely go into battle by the chute.

True, you might say the allies need paratroopers...

No you don't. Simple as that.
