Well, technicaly it is, but one could consider it a "light" load bomb wise, prety much all Japanese Bombers had the same bombload, the Bett and the Peggy had about the same operational bomb load.

It would be perked because there already is an aquatic troop transport -- the LVTA2; the seaplane version of the Gooney would let people working from a CV group get troops ashore faster and easier, as well as giving them the ability to capture fields that are either much further away from the shoreline than is practical to drive an LVT or are on top of cliffs that the LVT can't climb. It changes the balance of power in a CV-vs-field exchange.

While it is true that a float a/c transport would be more useful, I highly doubt any were ever kept in a CV hangar, so it wouldn't be very realistic. As it stands now we have one gv transport, one a/c transport, and one amphibious transport. This game is centered on a/c, so I heartily endorse this perked goon idea. The idea that you could make your first drop of ten then circle around to see if it takes is both appealing to me, and IMO perkable.

For a perked transport, I'd love to see the Gigant.
