Transport expert please chime in.

I’m upgrading my heavy transport mk5 and soon will max out to mk6 I’m in atomic age.

Here’s the current spec on the mk5 with all the research

transport hp 7200
infantry hp 8092
infantry damage per second 1123.

I assume that the dms is per infantry and each deployment of 3 would make 3369 dms. That’s pretty cool if it’s the case. I have 6 airtroop space right now and probably try out the double transport before it’s over.

Thanks ks for your participation.

That's exactly the case. Stats are per infantry. So for the 3, you multiply by 3

PS. 5-6 planes are still better

Yeah I’m loving this 6 fighters right now but it can get expensive if you don’t get to bring them back compare to 2 transports. That’s my thinking. I had a brain fart on one attack and didn’t destroy all defenses it cost me 4800 oil on just fighters alone. Yikes.

Most of times I use the Transport anyway, so 2 Transports would be way cool!

It's all situational for me anyway. You should always max planes first and transports second (Unless you have the oil to do them consecutively). Planes are always #1 because of they usefulness in war and raiding. That being said I have maxed transports as well and I use them all the time for raiding along with 2 planes. I do have all the library and university researches done as well so they are monsters. They have enough hp to distract the silo when they actually trigger them. I also have some museum pieces that add 7% dmg and hp which I switch out to them when used making the even stronger. They are fun to use though not always the most efficient. I've found that I can take out some silo bases much easier than using planes because it's easier to plan a defense from planes than paratroopers. The transport also has more hp so I had it take multiple sam attacks and still live. Of course it's all about strategy because they very easily get overwhelmed by defenders should you use decoy or etc and anti tank guns obviously. Losing one transport as opposed to 3 planes is much less of an oil loss and the time it takes to train is also less but there are cases for both in terms of raiding. I raid a lot with just airstrip troop because I probably donate way more units to ally members than I should and I'm not french so even with training bless it takes some time to get troops back.

For war purposes, never choose transport over planes. You may be able to 5 star a base but any decent base will take too much time if you can even beat it.
