Tachikawa Ki-36
This is a Direct Co-operation plane, it was armed with one 7.7mm type 89 mg fixed firing forward and one on a flexable mount for the observer in the rear, it could also cary 10 12.5 kg or 15 kg bombs. It also caried radio equipment for for artileary spoting.This aircraft possesed excelent short field take off proprities, and was extreamely manuaverable.It servered in all theaters and was eveuntaly withdrawn from front line use in the SW Pacific after 1943, although still employed in China up till the end in front line units. Would be cool to use it in a similer role to that which is being considered for the Storch.
