Aircraft/Loadouts Grushin Sh-Tandem

[Thai_Fighter 1,887]

Hey guys,

 

i saw a beautiful and very unusual russian plane, the Sh-Tandem (Ш-Тандем). It is a experiamental tandem winged ground attack aircraft with an reargunner turret. With 3 Prototypes build it would be a nice early tier premium plane for the USSR.

This is a very particular plane and I like it, but only in premium, because this was a prototype.

+1 As a Tier 1 Premium, but it looks ridiculous  :crazy:

Three prototypes were built and flight-tested by Petr Mikhailovich Stefanovskiy between late 1937 and 1939, but no serial production followed.

It flew. Looks extremely derpy. +1 as a premium plane. Edited July 21, 2015 by Radium_Bullet

[Garfield_Pilot 1,596]

Interesting , but no thanks.
I prefer to keep prototypes to a minimum.
