salut! having some deficit of aeroplane slots, and considering continuous flame "their cargo-plane is better than our", and remembering Showa L2D, we suggest to erase Ju 52/3m. instead we will have: 1940-01 Li-2 production 1941 with 7.62mm ShKAS as all versions of Douglas for all sides. 1943-01 Li-2 production 1943 with 12.7mm UBT for all sides. we will not provide more than two slots for cargo-planes.
Better to have equal 1 cargo plane for both sides is enough imo. Maybe 1943 LI2/12.7 mm both sides only. I prefer 1 more jabo fighter instead of next cargo plane. <S>
ooooooh that woodpecker option !!!!! How about both sides get the Cant 506: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANT_Z.506 "...General characteristics * Crew: 5 * Length: 19.24 m (63 ft 1.5 in) * Wingspan: 26.50 m (86 ft 11.3 in) * Height: 7.45 m (24 ft 5.3 in) * Wing area: 86.26 m² (928.53 ft²) * Empty weight: 8,750 kg (19,300 lb) * Max takeoff weight: 12,705 kg (28,010 lb) * Powerplant: 3× Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 radial engines, 560 kW (750 hp) each Performance * Maximum speed: 350 km/h (190 kn, 220 mph) * Range: 2,000 km (1,100 nmi, 1,200 mi) * Service ceiling: 7,000 m (23,000 ft) Armament * Guns: o 1 × 12.7 mm (0.50 in) Breda SAFAT machine gun o 3 × 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine guns * Bombs: o 1,200 kg (2,600 lb) of general ordnance or o 1 × 800 kg (1,800 lb) torpedo ..." So both sides get: float plane, troop plane,bomber and torpedo plane, gun ship. Just give it a little more top speed. (or maybe a Cant Z.1018... ) http://comandosupremo.com/cantz1018.html OK OK ,well then "historically" the SM.79 would be the most logical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoia-Marchetti_SM.79 Yeah, it would be a lot of work, but that's what I would wish for. Otherwise I tend to agree with Dem and allplay; the cargo/trooper situation does not seem too high a priority. Except for The General of course !
probably impossible. or else i'd play F1M2 http://forum.wbfree.net/forums/showthread.php?t=38095 "New Airplanes Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 series II "Sparviero" – Italian medium and torpedo bomber <...> Ju 52/3m g7e for future Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 series II "Sparviero"" ok. will count
if only the general lived to this day to see Li2 totally dominating the world. now u can get rid of 190's and 109's, Li2 patriotic plane is a lot better
Why don't we just get rid of Ki-27/I-153? I-153 is a warpy bastard anyway, and Ki-27 was there to counter I-153. (Yes, we've had a flame war on this earlier, but how often do you see them in flight? Hmmm??? )
final decision: 1940 Ju 52/3m for golds with MG 131 and extended sectors of fire 1940 Li-2 for reds with 12.7mm UB and some experiments of -fas- with sectors of 52 and loads of both within beta pre-release.
