Antonov A-40

The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (крылья танка) was a soviet attempt to create a tank that had the ability to be towed and glide into a battlefield.

Based off of a T-60 with a detachable biplane style cradle The A-40 was intended to be towed by either the Pe-8 or TB-3.
The project was later cancelled due to the lack of a plane powerful enough to tow the vehicle fast enough.

This version of the A-40 can somewhat take off and fly on its own unlike the real life version which could only glide (so sue me.)

• Startup: Turn Ignition Key
  Tank Mode:
  
• W/S: Forward/Reverse
  
• A/D: Steering
  
• Left/Right: Rotate Turret
  
• Up/Down: Gun Elevation 0 to 45 degrees
  Flight Mode:
  
• W/S: Pitch axis:
  
• A/D: Roll axis
  
• Left/Right: Yaw axis

• See Startup
  
• Connect rope to towing node on the front of the tank
  
• Fly to drop point
  
• Switch on flight mode
  
• Press release tow cable button to detach vehicle from Tow Craft
  
• Glide/Fly to destination.

(unrealistic)

• See Startup
  
• Drive vehicle to sufficient takeoff space*
  
• Switch on flight mode
  
• hold S to disable automatic brake and pitch up.
  
• Fly to destination

*Vehicle is somewhat weak in terms of flying, This is intentional, takeoff may be difficult.
In order to takeoff from the ground:

• If there is a dropoff at the end of your runway this is optimal since it will allow the tail to pitch downward providing takeoff angle.
  
• If there is not a dropoff, tap between A and D to adjust roll and wiggle the vehicle into the air.

Glideslope on landing should be as flat as possible to avoid damaging the hull of the tank, failure to do so will result in complete loss in drive control for the tank.

Update 11/6: Modified hull shape to prevent damage to hull on steep landing, Modified seat controls for better control, Fixed automatic gearbox issue.
Update 11/14: Added link for Towing Aircraft
Update 10/10 Updated model for Weapons DLC Turret machine gun, linked elevation control to U/D,
