Well, it is certainly quite big and useless.

The Weißer Elefant II is basically a fatter and longer Malenkov II with more guns. Unfortunately, it is stuck with four propellers (Actually, two since the center ones always stop working when you need them most) .

VTOL slider to control propeller pitch
Trim slider to control rudder
VTOL slider 1/3 up and thrust at 15% for more realistic speed when sailing straight. When turning, increase thrust.
