Be nice to have a paratrooper choice

Well knowing it is slower than the Goon might make it a hanger Queen, and it's MG 15 is not going to detear anything other than a goon from taking it on.

 A Tabby would be a better choice imo, faster and much better armend and easy for HTC to model.

  Howeaver I bet we never get another troop transpot plane.

How maneuverable is it?

The C-47 is quite a stall fighter.

S.M.79 Sparviero did dual work too, bombing & carrying paratroops - carried torpedoes too...

The russians had something close to the C47,, armed as well.
The Curtiss Commando would also be like a C47 on steroids....much bigger engines.
Short Stirling would be something. Imagine a Lanc with 40 troops
And then...the Messerschmitt GIGANT..muhahhahaa

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
