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.

Then it looks like you just aren't very good with it. Iv killed countless planes with the IL2's tail gun without even giving the enemy a chance. Just because you think its worthless doesn't mean it is.

Okay, now I will tell as much as I can about the C-46

From "Airplanes Of The World 1490-1962 By Rolfe

Curtiss C-46 "Commando" Twin-engine U.S. military transport widely used during the war, particularly in flying the "Hump" in China. As a war-surplus, it was still in use as late as 1953.

Do some research on the plane, it was exceptional.  It would haul a load and was a good short field aircraft for its size.  It was huge inside and the cockpit was intimidating.

That, is the only aircraft (not flown by puppets) able to both ingress and egress the ocean's surface at great speed, with absolutely no damage, on a weekly basis. :D

(BTW, I only saw it do it in Black & White, your results may vary  ;))

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.

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

(Image removed from quote.)



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
they wouldn't get off the ground in real life(hardley) and the ones that were lucky and did get off the ground etier crashed or were shot down

honestly, flying a dang ju52 in WB was tough! it didnt have the power to do NOE really because even the slightest hill was a big deal for it. it was really underpowered. besides, ive landed 3 kills in a c47 before those things are dangerous!  :noid  but i do agree that a different troop carrier would be nice. i still think one that could operate from the CV would add an interesting aspect to the game, such as the good ol dumbo.

I believe this thread needs to be moved into the Wishlist forum. One defensive MG is better than no defensive MG. +1 for any armed transport plane especially if its an Axis aircraft.

C-46 had a longer range than the C47 or JU-52, It could go faster than both, carry a heavier payload, and I think it had a .50 cal on the back of it.

But, I'd like the JU-52 better myself.
