Pyro HATES the Me 410.

Just give Hs129, so germans will have equal firepower with the Hispano, however, at slower rate of fire.

the same reason the Spit XIV hasnt been added yet. They havent gotten around to it yet.

Hs129 would be the worst Jabo plane in AH.

only someone who doesnt fly LW planes would prefer the Hs129 over the me410 or the me110(late models).
The Hs 129 is so slow its painfull.

Who said Hs129 would be used like Me410...
It's 75mm would be used against GVs of course.
Since it seems like german planes are more for fun than actually to be survivable - Ju88 with earliest armament set and no 1000kg's?
No loss with some other exotic gun meat.

I would rather see the Me-410B-2/U4 than a Hs-129. Mainly because one of the options on that ride was the BFG (Big Friggin Gun) BK5 cannon. Sure it only carried 21 rounds but it was a hard hitter.

Here is a link to a picture of a Me-410 going away from a B-17. At least that is what the caption on the photgraph says. http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/images/wrg0238.jpg

Too many German planes?

One of the reasons other than because "they havent gotten around to it yet." is IMO the difficulties involved in getting the reargunner to function correctly. It is nothing like the reargunner in the IL-2 aircraft for instance.
The gunner remotely controlled the guns with a joystick and aimed through a kind of periscope.
I can just imagine how this will require some new coding to get working. Coding that isn't needed to include a Bf 110.

But maybe HT is up for the challenge? *hopes HT takes the bait*

NO he did not.
He had a reflector sight and a pistole type grip that worked a linkage to the guns. I had the great privlage to put my paw on the Me 410 at the Paule E Garber facility, got close enough to look in the windo. I have a picture I will post that shows the rear gunner position.

In the context of AH the barbettes would work just like the tail or nose guns on a B-17. In both of those positions the guns are remotely aimed.

A picture is worth...

Brady is correct its nothing like the periscope on the arado. I have seen other picks of the 410 rear gunner pos with the "pistol grip" and revi. I'll see if i cant find umm.

AG you got that 410 book yet?
