Originally posted by swareiam Although some what slower than a skytrain. The JU-52 would in a mass drop or even individually have as much chance as a 110, A-20, Boston, or Il-2 to defend itself on its mission. Once spotted the C-47 has one chance, make your persuier auger. It happens occasionally...Soviet bombers are a fair choice, but german bombers would add nothing but additional fodder to the game. Somewhat like the B-25 is now. The B-25 was not even good enough for the Allied commander to choose for the recent AvA.British main battle tank. Good choice.But again the JU-52 adds utility, choice and some defense.Cheers:aok
Goto Google and type in "French military victories", then hit "I'm feeling lucky".

Originally posted by Karnak Ju-52 would be good in scenarios, but for any of the MAs I doubt dubious defense of the single 7.92mm machine gun would be worth the loss of 50mph.
