I belive this plane could carry the tiger as well, correct? We would be able to transport any GV in the game with the possible exception of PT boats (you might be ABLE to if you flew at 3ft, at just above stall alt, and let the boats fall into the water, but it will NEVER happen).

     Biggest panzer I've ever seen loaded into a Gigant <actually I believe it
was a 321 glider> was a Panzer 38T, rather smaller than even the Pz IV.

the 323 could carry bigger vehicles than that. I'm pretty sure it could carry a tiger, and like 99% sure it could carry at LEAST a panther.

If you had taken the time to read up at least just the basic stats of the 323, you would know it wasn't even remotely able to carry a Panther... ;)

     According to Wiki, the payload was 10-12 tons.

     The Panther weighed in at almost 45 tons.

     The Gigant isn't carrying a Panther unless it taxies to the dropzone  :D

That's an awesome idea... Unfortunately, that didn't happen in WW2. The most they could drop on a glider was a jeep, half-loaded. Sorry buddy...  :(

How about a g.v carier plane that'll air drop g.v's in places were there is no spawn points....maybe about 2-3 gv's in whatever plane suitable for the task


WTF?????? TWO OR THREE? like earlier posted, the most they could manage was 1 light, half loaded vehicle....and that couldnt be dropped, the plane had to land, then unload the vehicle.....

Then we need the hammilcar glider. It could carry the cruiser ram tank (I think). It was even specially designed to carry the specially designed airborne tank.
