An alternative way of thinking in the development of the Shturmovik or ground attack/light bomber plane, the Tandem MAI featured an unusual front- and back-wing configuration, with the stabilizers being nearly as large as the wings themselves, and providing 45% of the lift. The Tandem MAI, also known as the MAI Sh-Tandem of Sh-MAI, was an experimental ground attack aircraft designed during the late-1930s by Pyotr Dmitrievich Grushin (1906-1993) at the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI). Bleeds decent amount of speed trying to manoeuvre.The twin vertical stabilizers are two blind spots in rear gunner's field of fire.Internal bomb bay means no drag is created by the bombs if carried.Has a bombsight, despite being an attacker.

Large amount of ammunition for offensive machine guns.

4 x ShKAS machine guns can shred enemy aircraft of similar rank when equipped with tracers.

Has a tail gunner to ward off enemy aircraft.

Good manoeuvrability and decent acceleration over 250 km/h.

If not it has four excellent ShKAS to take out light targets for example, Howitzers, AAA guns, Armoured Cars and Trucks. Ground attacking is not out of the picture for it but with a low capacity of bombs and small bombs makes it not the most efficient attacker role but it can be done and will need to be able to land the bombs as close as possible to the targets. But it has a great arc of fire to ward off any possible attack from the rear. It can attack enemies from most angles except where the twin stabilizers are and directly below. Missing an enemy and let it come from behind would worry any fighter/attacker/bomber mostly those with small arc of the defensive guns or no guns at all. Four 7.62 mm ShKAS to overpower the enemy slower rate of fire machine guns with its own high rate of fire makes it an excellent head on vehicle but comes with the high risk of getting its engine get shot out or damaged that will force you to return for a repair.

Tandem MAI is an excellent interceptor aircraft with an air spawn it can intercept most enemy fighters before they achieve the altitude to be out of its reach. It is recommended to use the Universal belt to easily down enemy planes. The ShKAS defensive turret get three sets of belt to pick from Default, Armoured Targets and Universal belt. 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, tail turret (700 rpg)ĭefensive armament on the Tandem MAI is a single ShKAS (7.62 mm) gun that is in a cupola on the furthest back on the plane with a exposed gunner which makes it important to have a relative good gunner crew for it with preferably high vitality, fire accuracy and fire precision.It can dive excellently and get out of dives easily. The climbing of the Tandem MAI is not the greatest but since it is given an attacker spawn so much climbing is not needed to be done for it. It can make small short turns to the side (a few degrees) but after a while it will have lost a lot of its speed, become heavy, and turning will be a slightly harder task to do which ruins its decent manoeuvrability fast. Tandem MAI is a tricky plane to learn at first it has the speed to match most enemy fighters that it will face at the battle rating, but the manoeuvrability of the aircraft does not make it a great dogfighter.
