Some more fun for the C47s. One or two gliders in tow would make town attempts more interesting.

NO.

Gliders bring nothing to the game strategically. In WWII they were used to sneak troops in behind enemy lines at night since they had no engines and therefor could not be heard. We have no night time, and the gigantic icon under the plane will alert every red in the area that there is a free kill. Gliders are less capable than C-47s (at least they can do a few ACMs until help arrives).

Is this wish just for the sake of getting a new plane or wishing for a plane that will add to the existing game play?

Most all the good wishes have been wished, I reckon. Even this wish, good or otherwise, isn't novel.

Game play

The only game play I see is to be able to bring in more troops. HTC has already stated that if they let you bring more troops, they will make it TAKE more troops to capture. So what type of game play are you looking to effect?

A challenging aspect. But now that I think about it now seems rather impractical. I can go to the ca and and make it difficult.

Just think of the great thermals you could catch over the fuel factory after a strat run.
