They were both tri-motor transport, and had similar wingspan, but the similarities ends here. The S82 was much bigger, faster and heavier, its empty weight being more than Ju’s max take off weight. Payload was accordingly higher, more than twice, and there’s no comparison in range.
That said, I would prefer Marauder, Whirlwind and Helldiver…
