there were about 700 sm-82 used in ww2, by the luftwaffe,and both italian fascist airforces, many in the transport and paratrooper roles.................so from a historic standpoint it is a relevent aircraft....it also is slightly faster than the c-47. when looking at all the major catagories in aces high ,there seems to be some areas that have been forgotten....like...... axis transport,british tanks(matilda,chruchill,crusader,etc) raf carrier based aircraft,we have the seafire2....but not the seafire 3,sea hurricane,or biplanes(fairey+gladiator and i understand why on those) but also missing japanese late carrier planes and japanese attack planes. people talk about historical accuracy... these all should be added.....people talk about numbers that were produced......look at the low numers produced rides already in game.....brewster,f4u-c,ta-152,ostwind,wirblewind, p-47n. maybe these should be removed? no ,they are too much fun...it is a game. add the others
