Probably it's not about the model itself, still maybe smbd can give a hint what may cause this tilt to front? For testing model was used for suicide unit, so maybe it has something to do with some hardcoded aircraft's tilting while moving?

Add PitchAngle=0 to the unit's rules code, if you dont add that code the game will use the the default setting of PitchAngle=20.

@Mig Eater thank you, didn't know about this default setting.

There is actually a decent use for this for spawned aircraft, you use hva rotate to have them tilt rearward normally, which makes them appear to be landing or taking off, then when they fly to target or back, the pitching tilts them back to straight.

If you do it right, it's a pretty decent effect, however it doesn't work on pad aircraft, because they will sit on the pads with their noses sticking up too.

I did this for a VTOL aircraft that landed on it's tail, it worked well with it flying horizontally & then landing on the airfield vertically.

IIRC there was an problem with the voxel's normals not adjusting  between the horizontal & vertical positions, so the unit's lighting would look wired in one or the other.

IsDropship is still in RA2's exe and gave in TS the desired pitched takeoff/landing behaviour, while flying and standing straight.
Maybe it still works in RA2 the same.

IIRC IsDropship still works but the [DROPLAND] anim that is used as part of the logic is still in the TS pal, so it would need to be fixed or removed.
