Boxy and simple, this robust cargo plane served from lesser developed airfields and was mainly used to haul troops, machinery, and more between areas captured by the Axis. It was powered by engines taken from Mastodon airliners, which allowed it to carry things like light vehicles with ease. The rather slow plane later became more vulnerable to attack by Allied aircraft and ground fire, and were removed from most of their squadrons by 1944.

A cargo plane, as requested by TitanIncorporated. I based the general design off of planes like the Si 204 and the Go 244, and made the fuselage wide enough to accommodate anything up to 4.2 blocks wide and 8.5 blocks long. There's a working cargo door (that lowers via "tire deflation" like my previous cargo plane) with a folding ramp, as well as a single rotatable MG 15 in the back for fending off attacks by any Allied aircraft that sneak up on it. As always, have fun!

VTOL controls flaps (or turret when AG2 is activated)
AG1 opens cargo bay (Door, ramp, "tire deflation")
AG2 activates the turret (Flaps stay in place)
AG3 activates the magnet in the cargo bay.
