Junkers Ju-187 Super Stuka (WITH ROTATING TAIL)

1,470 soren37  5.6 years ago

This is my rendition of the Junkers Ju-187 “Super Stuka,” a design planned out by the Germans once they discovered the Ju-87 had become obsolete. The tail rotated downward in flight to allow the gunner an unobstructed view of pursuing aircraft. This plane is difficult to fly; probably why the Germans never created anything more than a mockup of this plane. Here’s how to fly the plane: Upon the tail wheel lifting from the ground, press the “Gear Up” button. This retracts the tail gear. When the aircraft’s main gear lift off, activate Group 1 and slide the VTOL slider all the way back. Your gear is now up. Now slide the TRIM slider down 1 notch. This helps stability. To rotate the tail, activate Group 2. And to get into the gunners position, press the camera button until you’re in Camera 1. Press Air To Ground, and you’re armed and ready! Enjoy flying this unique aircraft, and drop an upvote if you like it! Here’s some artistic renderings of the aircraft: !()[https://images.app.goo.gl/r1TM14qJBUajrtUaA]
