-The Kawasaki Ki-10 was the last Biplane fighter used by the Japanese Army. Introduced in 1935, it beat the competing Nakajima Ki-11 (which would later be refined as the [[Ki-27 otsu|Ki-27]]) as the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force placed more priority on manoeuvrability than speed. Its excellent manoeuvrability made it extremely popular with Japanese pilots, who demanded similar high manoeuvrability from newer aircraft. Over the course of its service, the fighter would be refined several times with the ultimate version, the [[Ki-10-II]], appearing in 1937.

 The Ki-10 saw service against Chinese air forces in the early stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War and against Soviet air forces during the battles of Khalkhin Gol (where it historically outperformed the Soviet [[I-15 M-22|I-15]]). It formed the backbone of the IJAAS fighter forces until 1940, but it was considered obsolete by Western military experts as early as 1938. By the start of the Pacific War, the Ki-10 had been regulated to training and courier roles, and received the Allied reporting name "Perry".

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''', designated as '''Type 95 Fighter ({{Annotation|九五式戦闘機|Kyū Go-shiki Sentōki}})''', was an upgraded biplane fighter with a stronger engine, a new cowling, a bigger rudder, and a stronger landing gear. It was faster, more agile, and more stable than the Ki-10, the last biplane fighter of the Japanese Army. The new engine increased the speed from 400 km/h (249 mph) to 430 km/h (267 mph) and the climb rate from 11.7 m/s (2,300 ft/min) to 13.3 m/s (2,620 ft/min). The cowling, rudder, landing gear, and wings were modified to fit the new engine and improve performance.

-It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. The Ki-10-I is a Japanese biplane fighter for rank I. It has a good turn rate, fair climb, low speed, and minimal armour. It is faster and climbs better than other biplanes, but has weaker guns and protection. The Ki-10-I can turn-fight well at low altitudes, but should avoid stalls and spins. Its 7.7 mm guns have low fire rate and poor belts. Stealth belt is the best choice. The Ki-10-I should not attack armoured targets or bombers, but focus on other biplanes or slow monoplanes. Aim for the wings, not the fuselage. Teamwork is essential for the Ki-10-I.

 Kawasaki Ki-10-II (Type 95-II, Allied reporting name: Perry) single-engine army fighter

@@ Line 116: / Line 116: @@
 The Ki-10-II's low speed and tight turning ability make it a great turn-fighter, like most Japanese light fighters. The Ki-10-II excels at low and slow turn fighting at very low altitudes where enemies cannot out-dive it. Additionally, it has a climb rate to climb away from enemy biplanes. Very fast dives should be avoided, as the wings will shear off at very high speeds. Similarly, turning stalls should be avoided, as the Ki-10-II has a tendency to enter uncontrollable spins.
-Its twin 7.7 mm armament is the weakest in the game, as it has a lower fire rate than its contemporaries, the [[ShKAS (7.62 mm)|ShKAS]], [[Browning (7.62 mm)|Browning]], and [[MG 17 (7.92 mm)|MG 17]]. The belts are poor as well; ''Stealth'' is most recommended, as it has the most AP-derivative shells. Strafing attacks on all but the least armoured targets are not recommended; Artillery, Vehicles, and Landing Craft are good and soft targets, while the Ki-10-II's weak construction makes attacking AAA and bombers risky. All bombers are pretty much invulnerable to the Ki-10-II (Beaufort, A-26, etc.) unless you are extremely good at making consistent pilot shots. Cargo Ships, Tanks and pillboxes are also invulnerable to the Ki-10-II. Instead, the best Ki-10-II targets are other biplanes or slow monoplanes, such as [[P-26 (Family)|P-26s]], [[Fury Mk I]]s or [[Nimrod Mk I]]s. The best practice is to aim for the wings! The fuselage's of all planes will absorb your shells like a sponge. Like most other planes, the Ki-10-II works best in numbers. Ki-10 pilots should focus primarily on sticking together and working as a team.
