« on: September 02, 2012, 07:33:25 AM »
so while I was looking at another post here on the bbs someone posted something about a C-54 Transport aircraft and me being only 15 I hopped on the internet and googled C-54 and and clicked on wiki and boom  :O :O :O I was just talking to my squaddies about this insane idea I had if the goon had 4 engines okay on to my wish.......

I wish we could have the douglas C-54 Skymaster.

It'd be an easy way to lose ten perks :devil

IIRC the skymaster was used only for VIP transport and bus duty at rear airfields. No frontline paratroop operations.

I think... :bolt:

Hitech has already said that if they added a plane that could carry 50 troops, then it would TAKE 50 troops to capture a field. Do you really want that?

OK lets try it this way, Hitech said he would raise the number of troops it took to capture a base to 50 IF they added a plane that could carry 50 troops.  Got it now?

HTC once said if they added aircraft that carry more then 10 troops, it would take more troops to capture towns.

If a plane carries 20 - then it takes 20 to take town, etc.

Frankly I think the C-47 is fine for now, why not finish out some combat aircraft first... we have m3s as well as 251s for troops transport.
