Will the Ju-52 (correct designation?) aka the Iron Annie ever be added as a german transport plane or will a german skin for the C47 be added?
-
HTC won't allow captured aircraft as skins in the game, so no LW C-47 I'm afraid. As for the Ju-52, I can't see it being a priority but you never know.
-
C-47 is slow, but Ju52 is SLOWER. If the C-47 tops out at 230 on WEP, and 200 without, the Ju52 tops out at around 150mph.
Yes, 150mph. About 60mph above landing speed, I bet (*wild guess*). It's a 1930s plane and it shows!
-
To make up for the slow speed the Ju52 has a MG to defend itself.
-
I would not trade 40mph for a single 7.92mm machine gun when being attacked by things like Fw190A-8s, Mosquito Mk VIs, P-47s, N1K2-Js and La-7s.

^-- what he said
Especially considering you have less speed with which to pull heavy-G turns and evade enemy fire with!
-
Great then we can lower the eny value of the goon. That way horde monkeys have to fly a slower transport.
;)

Hehehehe, with a Ju52 we can create a new perk category, GOONS! Pay 10 perks for a C-47! :t :t :t :t
-
Haha your all crazy the goon is great, turns on a dime for me, I have no problem dodgeing people in it.

Instead of adding a transport we could add a feature for a way of making the troops walk their lazy rear-ends to a base. We do all that flyin and get shot at and what not, all they do is run into a room and stand around in there untill it fills up, then they move else where on the base.(Bet you didn't know thats how captures work, did ya)
On a non-sarcastic note maybe add a faster transport beacause, speed is a defence. Examples are:
British Avro York, Carried comparable load to c-47 and fly at 290mph, entered service in 1944.Modified version of lancaster, which could ease modelling constraints.
C-46, Primary American transport in PTO. speed only slightly better at 269mph. Had a nice comfy pressurized cabin though.
C-54, small cargo space (7-15 passengers) 300mph
Transports really are towards the bottom of things we could use especially more allied ones, but I have not really seen too many axis transports that would be any better than the c-47.

The Savoia - Marchetti SM.75 Marsupiale might be a good axis transport.
Powerplant: three 560kW (750hp) Alfa Romeo AR.126 RC34 radial engines
Performance: max speed 363km/h (225mph); range 1720km (1070 miles); service ceiling 6250m (20,500ft)
Armament/Payload: one 7.7mm (0.303in) machine gun; 18 passengers
Or we can get the He-111 and have a bomber option and transport option :D
