Transports

[Crazy]

Which transport do you think had the most impact and/or effect on the outcome of the war.

I say the C-47. Without it, the para-trooper landings at D-Day would have been rather interesting


I have the Horsa glider on there because it played a large role in post-D-Day operations, and the 323 because it's just cool 8) Not that they'll get any votes...

since when is me323 cool? j/k its awesome thats its so strong and on a side note try killing one in fb very fun

 

[Crazy]

killing one? man, you've ruined the purpose of the 323! Try landing a one-oh-nine on the top of one. It can be done! I've seen screenshots of this feat

 

[cheddar cheese]

ooooo really? any chance you can put em on?

 

[Crazy]

If I can find those pics again, sure

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

If I can find those pics again, sure

I'll have a look.

BTW C-47 8)

 

[Crazy]

It was Vik that posted them, but either his bandwidth is dead, or he removed them

I liked my idea, though. 109 on a TB-3 under a bridge

 

[cheddar cheese]

well the C-47 of course, for its D-Day work but i was tempted with the ju 52 cos it had an 1100lb bombload 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it did, bit it was crap as a bomber really

 

[Crazy]

Suprising. I thought the 52 would get more votes. But I suppose it had a large post-war impact compared to the effect it had on the war

If anyone is listening where can i find good info on WW II fighters

 

[cheddar cheese]

well, here of course! im not talking about myself (obviously) but most of the people on the site are dead friendly and knwo loads about planes 8) (sorry for putting anyone in the spotlight )

in my opinon, the ju-52 had the most impact during the war. without it, the landings on crete (which, in contrast to the normandy airborne ops, were successful) couldnt have been carried out. yet the c-47 succeeded very much in the aftermath of the war, namely in the berlin airlift.

 

[cheddar cheese]

yeah the ju-52 is great , but not as great as the C-47 8)

 

[Anonymous]

Yeah Ju52's were great....at getting shot down!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

they weren't exactily great bombers either

 

[cheddar cheese]

speaking of the ju-52, isnt that similar to the italian savoia-marchetti sm.81?

 

[Crazy]

One could say that...

The "bat' was armed, though. The 52 only had a single gun, and that was only on one varient. Also had a 2000lb. bomb load, but could carry 4000lbs. if nessecary, whereas compared to the 'bomber' version of the 52, which could only carry 1,102lbs.

Here! Just ask mate!

btw, I have (grudgingly) to go for the Dakota, although I far prefer the Ju 52 meself...
