Still wanting the FW Focke Wulf 200 Condor
Quote
There were three versions - the Fw 200A, B, and C. The Model A was a purely civilian plane used by Lufthansa, DDL in Denmark, and Syndicato Condor in Brazil. The Fw 200B and Fw 200C models were used as long-range bombers, reconnaissance, troop and transport planes.


I'd wanna see the C

950hp at 2,500rpm at 13,124ft (4,000m)

So the FW would be slower than the C-47 BUT would be able to defend itself if attacked. I know it had it's issues but honestly, what plane didnt?
Corsairs drifted on landing FW's landing gear (brakes) overheated...

Only if they model it breaking in half when it lands. :)
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I'd say add it to give the Axis a 4-engine bomber option. However while it may find use in scenarios, judging from the quoted stats in the Mains she'll be a hangar queen.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
