IL-76

[Coldfire]

It just struck me when I was playing OFP that (to my knowledge) there has been no attempt to make a medium transport plane for the "East" side. I've seen an AN-124 "Condor", but that's hardly what I'd call a medium transport (It's friggin' huge!). IMHO, somthing more along the lines of a Russian equivilant to the C-130 is required.

How about a IL-76 "Candid"? That looks about the right size, and it's an actual military transport, which the AN-124 is not.

*Edit*
I found a site with some info:

the IL-76 Candid is still quite a large plane. I've found some that might be a little better suited to OFP.

the AN-2 Colt, perfect for the resistance side -

the AN-24 Coke/AN-26 Curl, alternatives to the C-47 Dakota size -

the AN-32 CLine, much like the turboprop that comes with the CSLA MOD -

the AN-70, this is pretty much equal to the C-130 Hercules -

the AN-72 Coaler, seen one of these fly at Farnborough 2004, very manouverable, good troop transport plane in use with the Russian army and has STOL -

the IL-14 Crate, again perfect for the resistance

Ok, those are all good candidates, good point about one for the ressistance... The reason I sugested the Candid was because it looked like a more-or-less equal to the American C-130... i wish I had a pic of them side-by side so I could get a good size comparison...

I have too say, I like the AN-72 Coaler. It just looks the coolest, unless someone plans to make them all.
