What if Airbus instead of developing the A400M military transport, instead designed and built a C-17 class of transport based on the A330 airliner, a possible C-330?

I'm thinking of moving the wings into an over into a shoulder position.

Redesigning the tail into a T-style unit allowing a rear cargo door to be inserted.

Also the wheels and their bogies lowered so as to allow the aircraft a lower profile to assist loading and unloading.

How would this aircraft perform compared to the C-17?

Would it perform better than the A400M?

Would there be more of a market for this aircraft?

Regards filers.
