btw Lisunov was about 20-30mph slower than C-47 so it could be nice trade-off:
With C-47 you get more speed w/out defensive armament but in Li-2 less speed but few light mg's to defend your plane.

Anyway Me-323 could bring some new possibilities in gameplay like carrying vehicles to distant enemy bases...

Ju52 or the Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle. This plane was used in a variety of different tasks - bomber, target tug, transport, troop carrier, etc.... It was also used by many allied countries including Britain, France, Soviet Union etc.

BTW Whichever plane you chose I think it would still only carry 10 troops... remember that a real C47 could carry around 25 - 30 troops.

Before any yankee C's, wouldn't Ju52 be ideal addition

The JU 52 would be cool no doubt, but the Tabby with it's slightly better spead than the C47 and better defensive arament( one 13mm Type 2 and two 7.7mm Type 92MG's.487 of them being built.)than the JU 52 would be very nice indead.
