C-46

They Should Put On Another Plane That Drops Troops Like The C-46, Or One That Has Machine Guns Or Turrents.

The C-46
I was not aware that we had this plane. How many perks does it cost?

I think he is asking for an alternative to the C-47, such as the C-46, or alternately an (unspecified) transport with defensive armament.

Would be a total hangar queen in the Mains. Its armament is negligible (about equivalent to the Kate) and it's even SLOWER than the C-47. And its utility in Special Events is limited.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Maybe because it would be so slow, give it the historical amount of troops instead of 10 to make up for speed?

Its top speed was about 30-40mph higher than its takeoff speed.....

And making the Ju52 have anything higher than 10 troops would only penalize the C47 pilots, since HT said "I can make it carry any number I want, but it'll still take a full plane to capture a field" [paraphrased].


Meaning, Ju52 carries 20 troops, maprooms now take 20 troops, and C47 pilots get shafted.


10 is chosen for gameplay consideration. It's not a historical number. Ju52 or any other major troop plane in this game would carry 10 as well, just because that's the way the game is played.

Wouldn't you love to have that at some point?


The Me-323 Gigant would be interesting; could even load up a tank or two to deliver by air.  It had 5 x 13mm MG's for defense....

*edit* doh!:  Waffentraeger (Weapons Carrier)
11 20mm MG 151 cannon
and
4 13mm MG 131 Machine Guns





Interesting.  This plane actually meets requirements to be included at some point...

213 Me 323's were built before production ceased in April 1944. There were several production versions, beginning with the D-1. Later D- and E- versions differed in the choice of power plant and in defensive armament, with improvements in structural strength, total cargo load and fuel capacity also being implemented

Warspawn: field mod!

Bzzzt! Flag on the play!  :O


But, even if we had it, it wouldn't stop you from being lunchmeat.

It's not as if you're suddenly uber-protected like bombers with 10+ 50cals slaved to one target. It's a single 7mm (13mm??). Like the tailgun on the IL2, you'll maybe get 1 kill in a year with it  :banana:
