Am I reading it correct in that the Ju52 can carry more cargo weight than the C47?  Even if it is %25 slower, it is could carry more troops and gv supplies.... it may be worth it.  Perhaps give it a more beneficial ENY/OBJ score compared to the C47 (reduce the C47 down to 35 ENY)?

I'd like to see it.   :aok

Well the C47 could carry 28 troops (which ours is limited by HTC to 10) and the JU-52 is maxed at 18.  If you are looking at empty weight vs loaded weight the C-47 wins again by almost 2,000lbs.

+1 for slow target drones that will only see use in special events....

You're making a 'It doesn't add to the MA' argument? Seriously?  :lol

The MA reached uber-saturation with the B-29. Can a better buff be added? Nope.

And the P-51D, F4u-4 .... hell .... the 262? Hard pressed to add any fighters.

Uber tanks already.

Ah, it already had the C-47.

Yes, the gap-filling may well be for special events. Imagine that.  :)

p.s. That would be every Euro setting with a capture component in the design.

Actually, the C54 would be the uber transport.  Why are your feathers in ruffle, I gave it a +1.  Although I do enjoy seeing you "gap filler" types spaz out.

Oh, this isn't a 'spaz out' ... this is a clue by four.  :D

Agreed :aok

HiTech had this AC modeled in WBs.  Shat, when I first started WBs in '99 my definition of "goons" was a JU-52

i think ju52 came after Hitech and crowd already left ...
I know they added some planes like the b24 and j2m2 and the j2m3 , i do not remember if the ki-44 was post-hitech time.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
