That thing truly is one of the most ridiculous and ugly pieces of engineering I have ever seen.
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

That is a damn masterpiece!

To be honest, I'm actually quite disappointed. I thought this thread would be about some sea monster :P

Aha, this beauty again. A seaplane, genius troop transport. I believe they are also in World in Conflict, only as statics though.

I like it. It might be no beauty in the details, but overall it is a beauty in engineering. Form is following function here.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

The only thing remaining is one American patriot wich says= But our Sprooce gooce H-4 hercules is bigger! And westren! And free!

Its a lovely plane, and it had potential. But as with many very large soviet things, not used

Like the An-225

LOL it really looks like they just kept sticking jet engines on it until it flew.

Check out my Red Orchestra, FH2, and shooting videos!

It has it's own elegance and as a ground effect plane it is just pure awesome. :)
I mean look at all the details. Radar dome, rocket launchers, gunner positions. And a modest payload capacity. :)

Shame it still doesn't fly, they ran out of space.

What do you mean? its not an airplane, it only has to fly a few meters above the ocean using the ground effect. I think you can compare it more to a hovercraft then to a plane.
