Well, the c-47's a blast to get into, but sometimes on those "put it down don't drop" landing... you hit a "bump" (You know, one of those that puts your left wing over the right and makes you flip around without wings?). For some reason, the C-47 gets some "fun" behaviour after her wings go "kerplut". For example, you can't let your troops go.
Dunno if this was added on purpose, or if it's a glitch, or what exactly, but It'd be a bit more accurate if you could still let them go...
Now I can see the flame "If you come down that rough odds are your troops wouldn't make it..."
All I have to say is Glider #4.
