Default Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich

Suggestion for next release:

Clone OBAT44 after you're done making the "master" copy into OBAT42, so that Luftwaffe Paratroopers, etc can be selected as CAPTURED or ALLIED for scenarios dated 1/1946 to 5/1949.

And here's something for the Mountain troops; the Fa.223Z (or Fa.223Da); which was "Plan B" for heavy VTOL lifting from 1943 onwards apparently, when the original "Plan A", the Fa 284 kind of sputtered out.

Link to site on Fa 284

The Fa284 would have been powered by two BMW 801 at 1,600 hp each for 3,200 hp total, for a maximum liftoff weight of 12,000 kg and an empty weight of 8,165 kg; for a payload of about 2,000 kg. A later development apparently upgraded the engines to 2,000 hp each, raising MTOW to 16,000 kg and freight load to 7,000 kg.
