Scratch that one, we have EngineSelect1 through EngineSelect8 available in IL-2, fits perfectly.

anyways, just imagine flying this flying Building, or to make a formation of these as targets, would be very interesting, imagine a furball of planes running into these planes as they get in the way or while they hit other formations on their way down to their death

But only one was built, and it was not armed/used in army operations.

"When completed, it was capable of carrying 750 fully equipped troops or one M4 Sherman tank."
Capable of carrying a single tank is somewhat different from capable of dropping a few.
