Sherman Buzzard

150 AidanJjnadiA  3.0 years ago

With surface to air missles getting cheaper, and fancy jets growing in price, coalition leaders have called for a cheaper and easier to produce ground support and multirole aircraft. Designers eventually landed on the fast, maneuverable and simple design of the Sherman Buzzard. Drawing it’s namesake from the multirole and mass produced Sherman medium tank, the Buzzard easily out-produces the enemy, making the use of complex SAM’s wasteful. Controls are basic, VTOL for flaps, Act. 1+VTOL for landing brakes. Let me know what improvments can be made, and happy flying!
