LI-2 russian c47 and p-39N

[Fester']

would love to see these two in AH.

the p-39N is a ton of fun in the IL2 demo especially like the flat spin modelling that it will tumble into if pushed to far

Lisunov Li-2 could be good addon:
Slower than C-47 (About 200mph vs.230mph AFAIR) but with light defensive armament. All HTC needs to do is add small turret and change engine-nacelles.

P-39 could be nice to have too thought P-63 could be better for MA use.

Why not add  the L2D3A-1 aka Tabby,the license built Japanese version of the C47 a little faster than the C47 and armed with 3! MG's,one 13mm Type 2 and two 7.7mm Type 92MG's.487 of them being built.

Id rather have a US painted P39D or P400 as used in the Pacific, these planes have some really interesting multi color camo pattern and personal marking paintjobs plus an interesting armament of a single 20mm Hispano or 37mm cannon with 2 nose 50cals and 4 30cals in the wings.

S!

Better to get a Ju52 before we get a duplicate C-47.

Buzzbait +) if you've followed Pyro's comments on plane design...  a variant can be added much easier/faster.  So a russian and japanese variation on the C47 could probably arrive at the same time or sooner than a ju52.

I'd rather a He 111 as a German troop carrier/cargo hauler. Better defended and faster than a Ju 52. It can drop bombs too!

Agreed

 Perhaps an armed Jap/Ruski Li-2/L2D's as a slight perk, and a Dakota with perhaps a doubled para load remaing un-perked.

I know this is going to sound like another LW flyer shouting 'i want more LW' whilst stamping his feet but...

I have to say that the JU52 was such an icon of a plane for WW2 (not quite in the dakota's league) that it would be foolish not to add this next for an axis transport.
 we should be keeping things even as concerns necessary 'peices' for the AH checkers board   .Allies have a troop plane, a troop armoured car, and a troop amphibious tank/boat.Axis need a troop plane and armoured vehicle.
As axis had no amphibious troop stuff so we should get a barge! lol ,with a suitable wait time for disembarking troops.Thus we would learn just how good those allied troop transports were.Rosevelt even said once that without these landing craft we would never have won the war.Now thats quite a statement.

so give us the JU52 please...<stamps feet>

i think the russian p-39N would be a better choice for aircobra in MA.

its stripped down and made to rock and roll.
has better roll rate than p-39d etc

russians loved this plane.

americans hated it.


that being said when HTC does get to the aircobras p-39N would be most useful. the variant US P-400/P-39d could be added after as a variant with new skin and fm changes
