The I-16 Type 6 only had 2 7.62mm MG's. Not 4 it like the I-16 Type 18, it would thus be a weapon mod and Mr. Jolly would send us to our rooms. I-16 type 10's were in use at the time of the German attack in June 1941. They had 4 MG's. Mangas did a Faux type 10 skin a bit ago and it was a sweet one too. To have a real Type 6 would require also removing the prop pitch controls as it had a fixed pitch prop. (The Type 10 did too I recall) :lol:

no... its deleting the weapons, which is allowed. See the TigerMoth development topics.

Why not make both a 6 & a 10 then?

A I-16 Type 10 would be easier but wouldn't changing the prop pitch to a fixed type rather then an adjustable pitch blade be a FM mod? The I16 tip 6 also has a fixed pitch prop like the Nate.
