we need another troop transport(axis)
« on: October 25, 2012, 11:11:55 PM »
,we need another troop transport, but which one?   top choices would be JU-52 and SM-82. if hitech dosent like the idea of an armed transport...well i can understand that AND support it, simply use the unarmed versions of these two aircraft...they used unarmed versions in rear areas.  and enable the defensive gun for scenarios is they are to be used for that...as a matter of fact the sm-82 would be the better choice to add a new bomber(8800lbs bomb capable) a new transport(no bombs or guns,just troops and supps) and another nations aircraft(italia)  the sm-82 served with 3 airforces including the luftwaffe,was used in large numbers,was used for paratrooper drops,cargo,and bombing and would be a great addition,simply adjust the loadouts for the particular role it is to play.

Ju52.  Makes it a choice between it and the C-47.  Do you take the Ju52 and its light armament or do you take the faster, but still relatively slow, C-47A?

The SM.82 simply wouldn't be a choice.  It is faster than the C-47A and armed, thus making it better in all ways.

For a game, which AH is, choices are a good thing.

Bring the Ju52 to AH.
