I tried the same thing and C-47s will also carry and 90mm AA guns as well. Two of them, in fact. I bet those were fun to shove out the side door

The problem is if you slap a 1 in front of the 28, you have now given the C-47 the ability to carry large guns. Even if you reduce the number to 106, you still can drop small antitank guns, such as the 57mm. Essentially, you have found out that the ammo canister weighs roughly the same as a 57mm ATG. Yes, you could manhandle an ammo canister out the side door of a C-47 much easier than you could an antitank gun, but you have effectively give them the same air drop capability.

If you are creating a scenario where you can prevent that kind of misuse of the new ability of the C-47, that works fine. You just have to hope the ammo canister falls where you want it, because without at least a jeep, it's going to stay where it falls. Realistically, once you got the canister on the ground, the ammo could be removed and moved, but the game won't let you do that without some sort of transport. The funny thing about those ammo canisters is they probably are heavier than they appear, since they seem to have an endless supply of ammo in them

I'm just playing devil's advocate here. Ultimately, it's up to you what you want to do and more power to you
