| Transports
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  Not that they'll get any votes...

| 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

| 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

| 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

#14 | | | 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. | |
