Awww come on Ack-Ack, just because most of them wound up looking like this, doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun to try!    ;)

hehe...I think the Me 323 was the only Luftwhiner plane to be destroyed out of operational service instead of being withdrawn.

Well Ack-Ack after a few drinks and thinking about the photo I posted, I think I discovered a new "Secret" Luftwaffe plot.

The Me 323 was not a transport plane, it was an attempt to infiltrate American schoolyards with..... flying German monkey bar's!

Would be nice to have a giant german cargo plane though.

How about a g.v carier plane that'll air drop g.v's in places were there is no spawn points....maybe about 2-3 gv's in whatever plane suitable for the task

In lu of the Me 323, we could get the hammilcar glider. It could carry jeeps, and the cruiser ram tank. But I vote in favor of the 323, as it would probably be better at delivering the gv's, AND it could deliver larger ones. I think a nice addition to the idea, would be to have it so the gv's have to pull up inside of the plane, where upon a button simmilar to the resupply button we have now, would appear, and, once pressed, would attache the gv to the plane. Once the plane landed and the pilot oppened the doors, a button saying "detach" would appear, allowing the GV to pull out. It would be use full for extracting GV's you or someone else dropped. We could have it so you earn a high ammount of perks.

Like I posted earlier, in one operation 21 of the 27 Me 323s were shot down before they were able to make it to their destination in North Africa.

How'd you know I shot some of those down :noid?

The only thing it would add is a very large target to shoot down for the defenders unless the attackers have total local air superiority over the base.

I seriously doubt that this "story" would happen. Rather it would be more like, "Ack-Ack landed 3 kills in a P-38G of 323 Hunters"

Have you SEEN Ack-Ack fly, even when not in the P-38?

Well our team of uber awesome bomber crews knocked out the AC hangers. The GV's are swarming the bailed pilots, but Ack Ack is running supps in a jeep.

Since when is the relative ease or difficulty of shooting something down a deciding factor in whether or not to put it in the game?  Goons are easy to shoot down but there's still a place for them.   Lots of planes are easy to shoot down but they're still in there.  It's the variety of planes with different capabilities that makes it interesting...otherwise why have more than one type of plane at all?   

I've always thought some type of gv-hauling aircraft would be a nice addition.   It's historically realistic to add one, and more importantly it adds a tactical element that is currently lacking on some maps.   Ndisles for example is an all-island map in which you can't attack most of the fields except by air.   It would add something to gameplay to have the possibility of gv's landing on the island somewhere and rolling toward a field. 

That being said, it would be difficult to add to the game because you have to transition the pilot from the cockpit of the plane to the driver's seat of the gv somehow after the plane lands.  You'd have to figure out how to count the sortie (make it two sorties, one bomber and one gv?), you'd need some reason to land a jeep-sized vehicle somewhere which might mean adding light artillery, etc, etc.  In other words I think this is a can of worms which has merit in theory but for practical purposes probably isn't going to happen any time soon.
