What do you say about this aircraft as British paratrooper plane?

Since this is used in 1937 but British paratroopers were first used in 1942 still so I think it shouldn't change anything but some stats.

If I had any crictism, it would be the lack of distinctive uniqueness that comes from looking at it from a glance. The current paratroop looks much different from bombers.

This is great for identifying a unit in a sea of units.

On a side note, I think I asked before but I don't recall the answer, how does one draw these sprites? I am assuming you used some kind of program right?

For me it's Pixly for Android phone
Gimp are used by many on the internet.

awesome images i have only suggestion on british colors starting to differ from tank colors.
can u make british c74 plane seem like this color? or shall i try? (i saw this little color difference in some of our latest british plane designs too) as u see russian and US is much more similar to their tank colors so those are very good colored!

also c4 plane "shadows" are white instead of being black as other planes have? not sure though.

The cockpit is not good it is not round like on the top it is more an half circle in the front.

More like this maybe

I tried making it appear more brighter for easier recognition of Its parts. To showcase more of it's appearance.

In reality, I've used basically the same color as the tanks. It's more of a color trick that make them appear different.

As for the shadow. I've been using black for everything.
In this, it would be much easier for me to just use black version of the plane then use 50% deletion to make it appear as a shadow.

No one really complained in most games in AO that I did it.

In this case, I tried to sacrifice it to make the team color more visible even at ranges.

Maybe you can keep the shape I made and put team color on the windows of the plane?

Like that we may see more the windows and the general shape is not damaged

Or teamcoloring the whole back vertical wing?

Good proposition
