C-87 Liberator Express
« on: November 23, 2008, 04:35:37 PM »
Just a idea:

C-87 Liberator Express
Crew:2/20 troops or personal
Armament:none
Powerplant:same as the B-24J

It can carry twice as more fuel than the C-47 and also we could like add a tail gun for Backup. Or we could use better troop Details. They look like pilots and they only armed with a .45 colt. Come on! Get at least a M1 Grand. :salute

A Soviet, Italian, British, Japanese, and most importantly a German transport is needed before another american one.

Agreed. Axis transports are a "must add".

The C-87 was used as a Troop transport, NOT as a Combat transport.  Therefor it would not serve any purpose in Aces High.

The C-87 was a transport, and for the troop skins, I have a similar topic, but more focused
