The Messerschmitt Me-321 "Gigant" (giant) was a humongous glider of the Luftwaffe. With it's 55m wingspan (180ft) and it's 28m length (92ft) the M
Me-321 is in fact the biggest cargo glider ever build. It was engineered in 1941 in only 3 months and was purposed for the soon initiated eastern campaign. With it's 11 tons empty mass (22,000lbs) and a max. loaded mass of around 34 tons (75,000lbs) it could transport troops supplies and vehicles like the Panzer 4 (Pzkw IV). To tug this massive cargo glider the Luftwaffe invented the dangerous "Troika"-tugging technique which required three Me-110's. Because of many accidents with this technique the Luftwaffe engineered the "Zwillings" (Twin) -version of the Heinkel He 111 which could carry the Giant by itself. Later even Ju 90's were used for tugging the Me-321. When the glider had to perform overweight starts it was equipped with rocket boosters to help the tugging plane out (couldn't start with them alone like in this model).
For defensive armarment the Me-321 got several MG15's and MG13's mounted in the hull.
Later the Me-321 was upgraded and replaced by the 323 model which was equipped with a different landing gear and 4 prop engines (V1) and others with 6 prop engines (V2).

CONTROLS:

Activation Group 1 activates the cargo doors. To open them shift VTOL all the way down.

Activation Group 2 acticates the cargo ramps. Shift VTOL down completely down to let the ramps down.

With Activation Group 3 you activate landing flaps. With them you can land easier and you can regulate your elevation while flying.
