I'm sure everyone will agree that the tiffie troop carrier will make a fine addition to the planeset.

Theres about 60 guys on that typhoon, with average weight probably about 170lbs, thats about 10,200lbs

Hell, look at how the LG oleos and tires are totally compressed. I but the prop would hit the ground if the tail came up

On a more serious note, how about the C46 as a cheap perk alternative to the C47? It would be able to carry several loads each of troops or supplies, or some combination of both simultaneously.
