These transport planes look like they cost 55 IC! 5 times as much as battleships! Do I need my eyes checked or something? :wacko:

No I believe they are 35. What patch are you using?
Transport planes only carry paratroopers and with that said it does take alot of planes to move 10,000 men in one turn.....alot of planes. It took General Bradley "heaven and earth" to get enough C-47 for the paradrop in Normandy

Transports planes can really 'exploit' AI weaknesses. Thats one of the reasons for the high cost.
The cost is 35 and any less would probably make them an exploit. The AI rarely leaves any units 4 provinces behind the front lines and they never defend their capitol unless it's in direct danger.
Market Garden info from a Google search:
In the hour and one-half from 1025 to 1155 Sunday morning, 17 September,
the greatest troop carrier fleet in history took off. Approximately
one-half of 3 divisions became airborne. Elements of the British 1st
Airborne Division and corps headquarters, with their equipment, were
lifted from the Newbury region by 145 United States parachute aircraft and
354 British and 4 American gliders towed by 358 British tugs. The troops
of the American 101st Airborne Division, coming from the same area, were
transported in 424 United States parachute aircraft and 70 United States
gliders towed by American tugs. From the vicinity of Grantham came
elements of the United States 82d Airborne Division in 480 United States
parachute aircraft and 50 American gliders towed by United States tugs.
The total force, including the pathfinder aircraft that led the way to
each drop and landing zone being used that day, was made up of 1,544
airplanes and 478 gliders.
That's for a three para div drop which was done in two stages. So air transports should be as expensive as they are in the game.
