I'd like to see some axis transports for immersion reasons. It would seem that they wouldn't require a lot of work in the flight model accuracy as they wouldn't need to be a lot different from the C47 other than speed perhaps.

3 engines means the flight model would be quite different than the C-47 i'd think

     Knowing my luck, the first critical hit I took would be the oil on number 2...who needs forward visibility anyway..just ask Lindbergh  :lol

Perhaps, but I would think that for a transport we wouldn't need painstaking research for accuracy.

bet Lindbergh was using F3 mode haha   the little cheater...  :rofl

Seriously, i would like to see the ju-52 just after about 8-10 other aircrafts. The problem is, seeing how quickly the 410 got ready, i might be a grown man when the 52 will be completed.

That's not how they work. The flight model is based on the airflow over the specific shapes of the wings, airframe, engines, tail surfaces, etc. You can't just copy and paste the C-47 onto the Ju52. They are totally different planes.


While the C-47 is about twice as fast as the Junkers, it would be nice to have one day so that scenarios and axis-v-allied setups would have a bit more immersion.

Saying the C47 is twice as fast as...ANYTHING is mind boggling to me..

C-47 wouldn't be twice as fast.  Only about 70mph faster.

Top speed of the junkers was about 150mph. Top speed of the C47 about 230-235?

Close enough to "twice as fast"

+1 It would be great for scenarios. I don't know how much it would be used in the MA.

I've been told that the C-47A has never been used in a scenario, so it really might be just a choice between the unarmed C-47A and the much slower, but lightly armed, Ju52.  Kinda like how you can choose a heavy payload and a few guns on the Lanc or lots of guns and a light bomb load on the B-17G.
