Apparently at least Airbus and the French air force, to start with. Been designed for it from the start, actually.

Also keep in mind that at least in France and Germany, the A-400M is going to completely replace the Transall, so by 2020 there will be no other para-dropping platform in service. I wouldn't place bets on Belgium either, though Spain and Turkey can probably rely on smaller CASA platforms.

This isn't exactly the most complicated unit to model, users and dates are mostly known, icons are already in the game and I can provide LBMs.

Good luck getting it added then.

You sound like person interested in aircraft. Myself, I like tanks more.
