CM-200 Cargo Monster
This is the CM-200, CM standing for Cargo Monster. It's 10 meters longer than the Airbus A400 and has a significantly bigger cargo hold. It also has a bigger wing surface area, way bigger power to weight ratio, smaller turn ratio and lower stall speeds than the A400, which would be it's main real life competitor.
It has 4 engines and 8 contra-rotating propellers, giving it a whopping amount of thrust, which it needs to do short take-offs and efficient flying at cruising altitudes. It also has a new tail design, existing of two vertical stabilizers and a mid mounted full horizontal stabilizer setup, giving it maximum stability and maneuverability.
The engines are mounted backwards for a better center of weight, and they are mounted upside-down to keep the center of weight and lift aligned with the center of trust. This means minimal inclination changes during throttling up and down.
VTOL: Flaps angle
Trim: Elevator trim

The aircraft is equipped with flares.

@Thungus yup, it works alright, but pretty difficult to aim :p luckily the AI anti air trucks are crap at shooting
@JoeriV I used a 200mm 100mm and a 50mm
@Thungus Awesome, didn't even cross my mind to make a gunship out of it. I'll give it a go as well
Threw some cannons on the side for a makeshift gunship
