A glider might be interesting. Put a small tank in it and use it to try to knock down a town or part of a town. Then drop troops from the C47 that towed the glider to capture the base. A mission with 3 or 4 of these could level a town and drop 30-40 troops.

Ju-52 would be a great option for trading some speed to some weaponry. In addition it would have its uses in special events.

Then there could be a perked version of C-47... the Russian Li-2 with a gun turret :)

The glider idea sounds great to me.

It's from the wrong era, but it'd be the ultimate vulching machine!

In reply to this, remember that they will up the number of troops needed to capture a base to match the highest number of troops available on one ship. (Paraphrasing from the last Convention Q&A) Do you want to wait for 10 or 28 troops to land/run?

Waco glider with Jeep options would be good.

In theory a single c-47 should be able to tow 2 of them to the drop zone, release, and get out of the area. As the 2 gliders coast in for a rough landing.

I think it would take some interesting coad to make it happen but the idea has potential.
