Wasn't that plane a glider before they added the engines, or was it other way around, or am I just plain wrong.

I believe Armoured cars, Light tanks (such as panzer I-II) Marder II could be carried but I subtracted Max Takeoff from Loaded weight and got 29,815lbs that can be carried and the panzer II is around 22,000lbs and the panzer III was 49,160lbs so limited to really light tanks.

Agh? Sealion was a 1940's operation.
