Australian C-47 are one of the ones with a 1XX load capacity in WW2(for the airborne 25 pounders)

"Pack Mules" are simply a small vehicle type (you can split the crew with the @ key, so are based on a vehicle class or gun class). Speed 6 gives them the clip clop noise when moving, as far as I recall. (I have absolutely no use for such things as animal transport, myself)

Set up Australian test game. Keep trying till you get planes. Once planes available, buy a flight of c-47 and some mules. Load mules in transport and plot air drop. Mules drop on silk handkerchiefs. (New exe - handlers (crew) and mules drop separately. Mules as a vehicle wait patiently for their handlers to rejoin, and are then available for use). Mules and handlers dropped in the open - as vehicles they would probably have had bad results in woods (including immobilisations, which here you could take as "broken legs").

Interesting, this can make airdrops cooler
EDIT:
with the new code will i be able to roll light guns/vehic from transports?
