Why ?

[ZtheE]

From Wikipedia:

"The K10W1 was not popular with crews possibly due to ongoing handling problems and only served with a small number of units which included the Oi, Go, Takarazuka and 81st Kokutais (Naval Air Groups) as trainers. Japanese records do not show that any were used for Kamikaze attacks, although a small number were definitely used as target tugs for gunnery training and as unit hacks attached to operational bases where they probably assisted in getting new pilots up to speed."

That's the entire operational history on the Wikipedia article about it. Seems like the K10W isn't a good fit for IL-2

Seems like the K10W isn't a good fit for IL-2

More to the point there is no good reason for any modder to waste time creating it when there are better ways to use up their valuable spare time.


This guy - with his endless 5 minute Wikki requests for obscure aircraft,  is getting a reputation as a certified PITA...  .   Perhaps it is time for someone to put in a request to add a limit on the number of requests allowed for each person per year.....

besides we have already this in the making https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,69812.0.html

Everyone has his taste, Frankiek... personnally, the request I hope to see done is this one : https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,69776.msg759963.html#msg759963. At least, the plane served in various versions, from 1940 (for the first prototype) to 1987 (for the turboprop version), and there has been a total of more than 280 built : not bad, for a small country... and there are some which still actually fly at airshows.

No need to say Swiss....eh eh great

Slap a Japanese skin on the AT-6 and you're ready to fly.
