This plane was an experimental concept for the Germans. It to the best of my knowledge never saw any combat due to its instability and use of high throttle usage during flight. It and other experimental aircraft only saw prototype for than actual production. They had several "ideas" for new aircraft, but they never made it to the war.

The closest that plane came to being made was on paper, it came to late in the war when materials were short.

My grandpa built one and did a few attack sorties on the western front to test how well it could stand flak.  :noid
