Hello, If the 3 engines Ju 52 is a common air transport medium for paratroopers (it was used even after the war as a general purpose light transporter, ), I have more difficulties to find the right cargoes for the Me 323 Gigant which is also motorized and look to be able only to transport troops with their lorries or half-track from airfield to airfield, and of course the DFS 320 which is a glider and for which I don't have found a use yet or simply put, how to load it. Can somebody give me some Tips? All these air-transports are available in the Fjords single scenario. :)

There is a file called TransportClass in the Data folder of Panzer Corps 2.
It lists every type of equipment transportable, and then every transport that can carry that equipment.

Infantry and Light Guns can be carried by any of those 3 air transports, except cavalry which can't be air transported at all.
Motorcycles take the DFS or Gigant.
Only the Gigant can transport Medium Guns, Heavy Guns, and Light Vehicles.
Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy Vehicles can't be air transported at all.

How the game determines which Air Transport gets used for a unit I honestly have no idea.

Thank you Stormchaser, it was helpful. I still didn't manage to push the AI to use a glider, but infantry with their truck and recons are ok with a Gigant. I will test further...
