In late 1944, just as the war in Europe was coming to its climax, Herman Goering put out a request for a fast fighter-bomber. The Steinhof corporation came up with a highly advanced flying-wing design. Armed with a pair of Rheinmetall Mk. 103 30mm cannons and a pair of mounting points for bombs, the St-37 proved to be an excellent aircraft. It has severe stability issues at high speeds, so keep the throttle at around 65% most of the time. Only go above that in emergencies.
