The conversion was the wings (total?) and the tailplane?
Or was there a nose/frontal issue as well?

AFAIK the 210 problem was all about control. Pitch and yaw?

Mainly wings, fuselage and engines. Minor changes to the bomb-bay and other systems.

Wings, and fuselage. Ok. Engines, DB603 from the start anyway?
Did they lenghthen it due to stab problems? Would be logical to fiddle with the tailplane in that case, but maybe a fuselage of other length would also make a good change in case of airflow?

Wings were bigger and completely new. Engines were DB 601 on the Me 210 (same as on the Bf 109E/F). The Me 410 got the bigger DB 603 to offset the increased weight and drag of the bigger wings and longer fuselage. The Me 410 has about 800 hp more than the Me 210. I haven't read about the changes to other systems yet.

Ah, the 601. So, in short, the 210 was "too little" for stability once that was cured you need more power.

HMMM i'd love to have the HE-111 so i can shoot it down in flames.

The last BofB scenario was a bit of a joke trying to kill ju88's with 303's a Heinkel however because its much slower would be easy meat.

I'm open to any new aircraft additions but Mossies need to be re-modelled and maybe another 2 variants added ASAP.

He-111 was a rugged bird though.
For BoB it is a must along with an older Stuka Variant.
And it's a must for the eastern front, but there you need a lot of other aircraft for filling up as well, - we only have aircraft for the late eastern front, and not even enough.

Yup.

So, done with the book?

Viking · « **Reply #115 on:** July 31, 2007, 09:04:12 PM »

Halfway done, although the rest of the book is pictures and technical things. Even Hollywood couldn't write a better soap opera than the production history of this bird. It even in no small way contributed to Udet's suicide.

Iron man, you have betrayed me....

I don't get the reference.

Ah ... "Iron One, you are responsible for my death - Reichsmarschall, why have you deserted me?"

Udet's suicide note.
