 Fine, I will prime pump, faster, carries more and longer range, plus added excitement of history of in flight fires!!

Its been a favorite of mine since I watched "Ice Pilots".   Might be a good perked transport if they want to go that route, otherwise the C-47 becomes a hangar queen.

This clip has some great flyby audio:

As far as Aces High, the C-47 will do anything the C-46 will do. Same amount of troops and same amount of supplies.

Might depend how they model it.  I dunno if they'd allow a single aircraft to carry more than 10 troops, but it might be helpful to have a transport with twice the cargo capacity for resupply missions.   Transports are so vulnerable though I don't know how many would risk losing perks to fly it.

Hard to taxi was the word from the pilots at AMSA.   

I think they all worked there for the shot at flying a super connie.

A guy that hauled fish in the C-46 said the shape of he nose/windscreen took some getting used to.  Tended to make you fly a bit sideways.
