Use of aircraft from upgraded groups

[unmerged(48238)]

German bomber Groups at the start of the game begin with the Ju-52 as its princple bomber plane. After they have been upgraded to the Do-17 or higher, what happens to these Ju-52's???? That just happens to be the transport plane that Germany must develop to transport paratroopers. Instead of spending 30-something IC for 2 years to build transport planes, why can't these bomber Ju-52's be converted to the transport version? Instead of the 30-something IC, maybe something between 5 and 10 IC to account for the conversions.

That is an outstanding point. I iamgine that some of the tricks the Germans used to outwit the Versi treaty are included or understood. But having to spend so man ICs on something they managed to convert seems out of place.
