I would love to fly this! Anyway, I think it's a much more believeable airplane than the Heinkel Lerche, which we have in the game, but which was never even built, in the real world. It could have been the "Harrier" of the Korean war. I think that dive-bombing, and rocket-firing through those big propellers would have posed a problem, however.

Rockets would be mounted center line between the props, and bombing they would fall behind the aircraft and away as it pulled up.

Bumping this request... Wish they would have flown this before they destroyed it.

Just a small point here.
Looking at the three view drawings the props are below the undercarriage wheels, would they not have smashed on takeoff and landing ?

This aircraft was requested several times here before (I think once by me), but unfortunatelly never "materialized"... :( I know, or rather I only can guess that making a totally new aircraft is a huge project - 3D modell, 3D cockpit, FM, paintjob, damage, etc... - but these strange planes also would be nice to see in the game.
