JG1_Shadepiece Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Since the LW has a nice Ju-52 for cargo and para drops, I was thinking that we absolutely should have an allied counterpart. None makes more sense in my mind than a good old Douglas C-47! Edited May 26, 2018 by ACG_RED_Shadepiece 1 1
ACG_KaiLae Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 They have talked about the Li-2. Third party perhaps.
CountZero Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 "Last but not least, part of our overall plan is to work with one of our long-time professional development partners to produce airplanes. This is not a guaranteed success and much work needs to be done to make this a reality, but we are giving it a shot. There is much more to our airplanes than just the model. Much training will need to be done to pull this off. If successful, we plan to make the Li-2 next. We are making NO PROMISES, but here are a couple very early WIP pics."
JG1_Shadepiece Posted May 26, 2018 Author Posted May 26, 2018 Ahha! The Russian licenced C-47. Well good, because that would be the most logical counterpart. I'd prefer the C-47 nomenclature though. Too classic to not have it in my humble opinion!
Nil Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Of course the C47 is a must have! but it the Li2 is made, the C47 would be obviously made so no worries. I have the fact that both the Ju52 and the C47 variants will servent ALL theaters of war, even if a battle of Korea is made... I can not wait!

I don't know how many times I have to say this but the Li2 and C47 are very different even though they look the same. Differences are the wing, cargo doors, cockpit, engines, metric instead of imperial fittings, skin thickness, landing gear and much more. The designers if the Li2 consider it a new aircraft instead of a redesign.
Nil Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Sorry I do not know either how much time you said it. By the way, I see what you mean AeroAce Since The c47 has no turrets and it is easy to find data of it, I believe it will be made somehow. Edited May 28, 2018 by 1./TG1_Nil
Notclear Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 It would have be better to do a C47 directly instead of Li-2. Li-2 work only for russian front and North Korea, C47 was used everywhere by many air force, including USSR which field mod some with turrets. The ressources will have been better used doing a C47. Anyway Li-2 will be mine.
P51DMatt Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I would absolutely love a C-47! This would be the equivalent of having a DC-3 in this game, which is one of my favorite old aircraft.

Godspeed Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Whats the status of Po-2 what is made third party as well? And who are the third party? Edited May 29, 2018 by Godspeed
JG1_Shadepiece Posted May 29, 2018 Author Posted May 29, 2018 Interesting comments on the differences of the Li-2 and C-47. I would definitely prefer the specific C-47, but with proper modifications I'm sure you could make the convert. I think it's the perfect counterpart to the Tante.
