Great that you prepared this smaller version even if is probably not worth the burden in game terms. Too early and to small difference to other soviet OOB's aircrafts
but if you talked about this meaby:
of course bomber until 1935/1936 which is just another not so different version of TB-1 but after that propostion as a transport (paratrooper aircraft in game terms)

The R-6 aircraft and its modifications were in the first line of the Red Army Air Force until the second half of the 30s. During the Great Patriotic War, the P-6 was widely used for reconnaissance, communication between headquarters, supply of partisan bases and units of the regular army operating in the rear of the enemy, ammunition, spare parts, fuel. The car towed the gliders, landed on the partisan "airfields", taking out the wounded and the glider pilots (gliders were destroyed).

R-6 will be great aircraft to use in this discuses earlier in this post scenario of supply soviet partisans if was important as a gilder tug and aircraft which carry small detachment of paratroopers or carry ammunition supply canisters to drop them for partisans units. Especially in early times of soviet supply missions around Moscow in 1941/1942 Vyazma operation
