Still wanting the FW Focke Wulf 200 Condor
Quote
There were three versions - the Fw 200A, B, and C. The Model A was a purely civilian plane used by Lufthansa, DDL in Denmark, and Syndicato Condor in Brazil. The Fw 200B and Fw 200C models were used as long-range bombers, reconnaissance, troop and transport planes.

So the FW would be slower than the C-47 BUT would be able to defend itself if attacked. I know it had it's issues but honestly, what plane didnt?
Corsairs drifted on landing FW's landing gear (brakes) overheated...

I'd say add it to give the Axis a 4-engine bomber option. However while it may find use in scenarios, judging from the quoted stats in the Mains she'll be a hangar queen.
