I'm voting for the ME-410

not out of old JB "Nostalgia" or because I wear Leather arseless chaps while I fly, but because of DIVERSITY in the arena.

I really believe that plane of ALL the choices will breathe new life into the fights and planes chosen in the MA.


It has nothing to do with country of origin, personal choice, or anything. a CLOSE second would be the C.55, but I am partial to the 410 as it has more "options"




so all you out there, before you vote, think about the MA consequences regarding your vote, and how the "game" will play ;) :aok

Treize,

Did you build the 410 model?  How long have you been in the Syracuse area?  (I was exiled there for several years) ;)

No, I stumbled across that site a while back and liked the look of it, 410 is on my list of models to add to the collection. Was browsing for kits and ideas.

You like that, you should see some of the schematics I found on a Russian modelling site. Would be great reference for the modeller when it wins. :)

Lived here all my life, variously in Oswego and Oneida counties.

Already testing it, image photoshopped for historical feel. :)

I wouldnt mind seeing the 410, but I don't think that HTC is going to be able to do the aft remote guns justice with the current model.  As it is now, we have to aim Ar-234 cannon via external sighting because the periscope sight isn't modeled.  I think all they could do with the 410 is to lock the guns straight aft and let you try to pull the trigger while looking aft.

It had a crew of 2, wouldn't the second be the rear gunner?

Well, would rather have had the HE 219 and it's variants, but as this wasn't on the list, I vote for the 410!:aok

It's just going to be cannon fodder for the fighters in the game, just like it was in real life.  While it was moderately successful against the Allied heavy bombers, it was out classed by single engine fighters in a dogfight.  

By mid-1944 the Me-410 was being withdrawn from front line service and production was phased out in favor of single engine fighters.  By fall of 1944, the remaining Me-410 units were only taking part in recon duties.

Nay on the Me-410 at least for me.

I'll believe it'll be slaughtered when it starts happening to the 110 and Hurricane. "Outclassed" planes in AH have a nasty tendancy to perform much better than they ever did IRL.
