C-46

if he was afk......











at half throttle......

Naw, that's 2 × turreted 23 mm VYa-23 cannons, 150 rpg...

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 

You've obviously never actually tried using the tail gun on the IL2 have you?

[Angus]

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.

Where do you get that? Or did you mean the Ju52? The C-46 is basically a bigger goon with lots more HP's. 2x2000 hp, 50 troops (payload+ fuel 16.000 lbs), 269 mph, ceiling 27.600 ft versus our goons 2x1200 hp, 27 troops (or a 6000 lbs load), , 224 mph, ceiling 26.400.
In short, the C-46 is the C-47 .... on steroids.

Mind checking who I was quoting?

They Should Just Get An Airplane That Carries Troops And Can Protect Itself.

JU-52



It had a gun on the top of it.

[Angus]

Yes, and it was about as effective as a ping-pong ball. And the aircraft was so slow, that just about any Bipe at the time could fly rounds about it.
Naahhh, the C-46 at least has a superior performance to our goon, and IMHO would be an interesting (Bomber perked????) entrance to AH with say 20 troops

I still say JU-52 we need a german troop carrier anyway.

[JonDoe999]

Maybe it would be nice to have another Junker on Aces High II.

As a matter of fact, many many many times. Getting a few hits doesn't stop them from blowing you away. Just puts nice holes in their wings, and they fly away and land your scalps, while you're in the hangar choosing your next plane.

I don't know...its 12mm, still kills planes

that guy is cracking me up 

the perked goon idea seems interesting thought, did the plane reach any decent production numbers during WWII ? And usage ?

[Angus]

The C-46 hauled quite a lot in WW2, and also was in the ETO. Was more in the pacific as well as riding over the Himalayas due to it's better performance and range  than the C-47.
Now...ponder on a goon in AH that is faster and has 20 troops...so you can allow some to be strafed
