(man that thing could haul)

Maybe you should read a book sometime, the me321 was the UNpowered glider that was the basis of the me323 4/6 engine heavy transport.


And in the unlikely case we will get the me323E-2, i surgest with have this loadout:

1 20mm MG 151 cannon in each of the two turrets (1 on each wing)
2 13mm MG 131 in the nose doors
And 5 more MG 131s in the beam positions and rear of the flight deck.

Would make resupplying and crashing server due to mass paradrops easier eh?  

It would be nice if we could get an aircraft like this in a later version of AH2, vehicle drops would be useful!

lol nice bait with armament;)

first you list data of me323D version then armament of me323E-2/WT wichone never carry any load;) And was rebuild  from serial plane only as prototype. Overall 201 where build  between 1942-1944 /all versions. This glider was build to transport troops and vehicycles up to 20 tons. NO paratroopers and haviest tank can be transport is pzwgIII or IV but not this version we have in AH.

really i not see this glider in AH till we have spown points
much more importand is JU52

But imagine a plane that took a LONG time to nail... PLenty of time for escorts to close and nail em...

not really. it wouldnt last long in a map with 190s, tiffies, n1ks, and ponies roaming around. (like the MA)

The neat thing about this is that it would be perfect for resupplying broken fields, setting up forward air bases, bringing GVs to islands for attacks, and more.

Maybe we could give the Russian players a production version of this....LOL

From the text:

Amazingly, this project advanced beyond paper and was flown in 1940.

The glider had an unorthodox control system: an inclination of the gun was slaved to the tail surface (pitch control) and rotation of the turret was used to change the roll. Prior to landing, a pilot/tankist would start the engine and speed up the caterpillar, so that KT-40 can land.

i just got the details from a website here

sorry i dont know everything about every model of every plane that flew in wwii like you.  the bait was very unintentional, and as u can see the bits i highlighted was the payload and troop carrying capacity which was the bit i was interested in.

ohh, Furball buddy, im only jocking with that bait;)

but must be somone who correct that german taily stories
