The example of an airplane that is useless!
Entered service in August 1939 and after 3 months and 5 accidents (not related to the war) the 14 remaining planes were taken out of service!
A pure waste of time trying to make this plane!
But that's just my opinion!

Ya never know. Theres always the what-if with the 211 variant with a better egine

Loire 211
Prototype with a more powerful Gnome-Rhône 14K[5] engine.

I like the version with 2 Jumo turbines and a GAU-8 on the belly.

It is an intriguing proposal, though as Epervier said it had a ... limited service record.

Not disagreeing that it would be nice if some modder decides to try for a French seaplane, though there are also other options to be considered for WW2, like the

Latécoère 298


That said there is already a request for it here a while ago https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,32859.msg352198.html#msg352198 ...

Back to the 210 - looking at the picture makes one want to try a seaplane like that (ideally with better structural design) in the new MS Flight Sim 2020 environment.
