used as bomber early then mainly as an armed transport for 40-50 troops OR 23 heavily armed paratroopers....it could even carry a small vehicle or towed artillery piece.....great aircraft to already have if want to get towed artillery or jeep to an island for fun.....or just base take or supply..AND its armed!

Great bird but way to slow (cruise is 160). The SM.79 would be a better choice IMO. Top speed of 286 mph and overall payload of 3800kg. HT should also consider adding transport capabilities for the G4M for special events as it was used for this role. Regardless, the axis need a proper heavy and a capable transport.

+1 We need an axis transport, especially for special events. Personally I would still prefer the Ju-52 however if we can have any axis transport I'm all for it.

I'd rather the Me-323 got the nod - a heavy lift transport that carried about 3x what a C-47 carries.

323's max speed is 177, and is as manouverable as a barge!

[Pigslilspaz]

but it has 6 engines! lol.

Our best shot at getting an axis transport is a dual purpose aircraft such as the sm.79, sm.82, or He111.

People don't seem to realize that the Me 323 will be nothing more than a very large target and unless heavily escorted will probably wouldn't make it to the field to drop troops to capture it. 


ack-ack

the one reason I want the 323 in game is because like the 29, I think it would just be one of those things that would be cool to fly
