We will not get the SM.82 as a troop transport because it would be very much more effective than the C-47A being faster, armed and tougher. We might get the Ju52 as a transport as it gives the choice to be extremely slow and armed or to be slow an unarmed.The SM.82 might be added as a bomber. A better bomber choice would be the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79-II or Cant Z.1007.
Why that make no sense that is why it would be added because it is Better than the C-47 Skytrain
It doesn't create an interesting choice. The JU52 and C-47 would be an interesting choice. The B-17G or Lancaster is an interesting choice.When one unit is simply vastly better in all ways than the other the choice isn't there anymore.
The answer is simple have AH limit it to a Armed Transport
How is that simple? It leaves you in the same place, no real choice as the SM.82 is simply superior. It is faster, tougher and armed. The choice between the Ju52 and C-47 is interesting because you get the choice of speed or guns, but either way you lose something.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
Ju-52 was also pretty armored as I remember - something to do with the skin of its body it was no way easy to shoot down (Not in the sense of an IL-2 tough).
The Ju-52 also had a lot of empty space for the rounds to pass through.ack-ack
