Better Transport Planes - New Heavy Transport Plane - Can Create Variants

I made this Mod because of a request. To put it in his own words: "TP's are 5 times more expensive than strategic bombers thats insane!" Transport Planes are sadly not very exciting to use as there is only 1 type, they are very expensive, have nearly no Range and you cannot upgrade Variants of them.

This Mod aims to improve Transport Planes!

I made Transport Planes alot cheaper, increased the Range, Speed, Agility and made them able to create Variants with Upgrades in Range, Engine and Reliability! Also I included a new Heavy Transport Plane Type which has Air Attack, more Range and Durability!

If you also want better Paratrooper Drops that reduce the penalties Paratrooper get right after being dropped here is a Mod that is also compatible with this Mod together!:
