Maximum load does dictate transport capability. Now you know.

This makes perfect sense technically. The same field is used for max bomb load for bombers and for cargo for transports - so the easiest thing to do is just let it be cargo when a bomber plays transport. [I wonder if we can do the reverse? I just learned of a version of the C-47 which was a "bomber transport" - and the Russians used it as such! I guess we would have to define it as a bomber to do that - and then we could not use it to do anything but move supplies.]

But it IS nice to know and not have to guess.

Remember too that bombers can be used to transport supplies.

That was my meaning. IF I define an Li-2 as a bomber it can still transport supplies - but it can drop bombs - which it cannot do if I define it as a transport! The Russian C-47 has a gun turret too!
