Here is a "what if" fictional predecessor to the Myasischev M-4 Molot strategic bomber. The Myasischev M-1. NATO reporting name Broadside.
I took inspiration from the B-36 / YB-60 program. Soviet style. Lots of polished aluminium. For export, so inferior Uzbeki aluminium, but still stronk. Made by babushka.
It has four 2000hp stronk Russian style radial engines and six small turbo jets. Four turning and six burnkng, da gomrade!
Flaps arent needed for take off, give one third trim nose up and the tail starts flying at 175mph or so. The rest of the kite tends to follow shortly after.
Landing... Full flaps, trim full nose up, 10-15% throttle. She is slow, heavy, cumbersome and a beast to fly. The stall is quite level, though; only the nose drops, so you should be able to catch her in the event of a stall.
Ag1 + vtol up opens bomb bay.
Ag2+ vtol up drops flaps.
iForward Russia!

@DownUnderWing Thanks. I like your offering too.
What a monster. Good work.
@Treadmill103 Thanks. Im working on a way to release all the bombs at once without using action groups. Should be an interesting test programme...
