top turret wont do much, we need ju-52

The Li-2 also had less powerful engines to the US version, that and the drag from the turret would make it slower. Do you really think any fighter attacking a transport is going to get put off by a single rifle calibre gun anyway?

I'd use it. I mean, some of us fly the Stuka.

I'd second the ju-52 would be a nice alternative and perhaps useful for scenarios

How about the L2D?  I believe the Japanese version had guns and engines that were about the same power as the C-47, maybe even a tad higher.

  Is this it? Looks as if guns have been removed.

Looks like the Li2 would have similar performance to the Ju52. In which case we should get the Ju52.
