Okay, we got our F6F-5, whats next?

There's some novelty and use for a plane at ports, and to lay mines or spot CVs or other gameplay ideas, but any of the latter would mean lots of new coad and gameplay brainstorming.  Without them I can't see much use for it besides cargo and maybe ackstarring the map room with those small guns...

lol i know they carried bombs torps and mines but seriously it would be chumps meat in the a flying at 100 mph a hurri 1 looks like a p51 next to this novelty bird. Its just wierd when there are so many critical (imo) planes like the 410 betty he111 and several other a/c

Since it has had its flight model patched up a bit the mighty Mossie is in desperate need of a face lift.

It is, in my opinion, the premier attack fighter in the game. For pure bomb/rocket hauling ability combined with dogfighting capability the Mossie cannot be beaten. More fun than Spits.... the Mossie is my favorite Allied aircraft.

That or an update and re-arm of the Stuka (with a small perk on the G1 model, perhaps)

That looks awesome!  What cannons are those and how many of the Stukas carried them?

[evenhaim]

agreed on both counts xas, g2 would be fun to play rudel lol and the mossie would be beautiful seeing how the new 3d models are looking

They're 37mm anti tank cannons. 6 rounds of armor piercing ammunition in each of the two synchronized cannons.

I have a feeling the 410 is going to be used for a week, then called a waste. Like what most players say about the P-39.

[moot]

No.. It's going to eat into the 110's usage though.  It looks like you haven't accurately understood what it would be like.  The MK103s on any minimaly maneuverable platform are probably enough on their own to make the 410 competitive.
Supposing they add the B2 model, it would have either 6x20mm, MK103x2 + BK5 (or 3.5), or a light loadout like 2x.30 and 2/4x 20mm.  Add to that the partialy glass cockpit, the speed and great looks...  If it handles anywhere as well as the 110, it's going to really make a mark. 

Anything sitting still would be dead meat to the 410.  It would even compete with the Il2.. The 103s would probably be about as lethal as its 23mm's, if not more.  Hell, the 103s may have better ballistics than the 151/20s!

4 20mm's the 'light' armament... love it

[angelsandair]

Now thats what no one ever said about the 410

....... told me about it...  

[Dream Child]

What exactly is the 410s armanment I forgot it.

Umm...this IS what you were asking about, right?

Don't forget the ME262 version...

[Motherland]

There was no Me262 'version'. There was one prototype built with the BK5 in the nose, it never went into production.

The most important part of the Me410's armament, IMO, was not the BK5, but rather the MK103, which fired a larger 30mm round MUCH faster than the Mk108 we have in game. The ultimate aircraft cannon (although it was insanely heavy... 140+ kilograms IIRC)

I believe there was more than 1 262 with a bk5 but thats besides the point. The me410 NEEDS to be added. I sware I cry of joy everytime i see even an artist rendition of a 410 attack american bombers, it must be added or ill die
