Depends. For air to air, hell yes its too low. Against GV's, its about right. But if it had an ENY of, say, 25, it would be about the only plane brought to vulch fests.

Consider that ENY value a dweeb leash.

Honestly I think its to low.  I have done many ground attack mission in it.  Most of the time I get killed or recieve heavy damage when attacking airfields when in it.  I can most of the time make a clean run in a single engine aircraft where I usually end up with major damage in a 110.

Think about how big the 110 is. Its going to get hit more than a 190 is, sure enough. But ENY wouldn't be determined by how good it is at deacking a field or killing ord.

I also think its too low but an increase of maybe 5 or 10 maybe good enough  or maybe have a separate eny dependent on whether someone choose fighter or attack.....

110s against a GV?  Seriously?  IMO it deserves its ENY because it's exceeding effective at taking down towns.  In fact, since (I think) ENY is probably put in place to help prevent a numerically superior country from rolling too many bases too easily, the 110 deserves its low ENY more than most other planes, since a 110 has such a great effect on a town.

Before the dar changes, I remember my two week trial 2 years ago, I went on a massive 25+ people NOE 110 mission, let me say that that base couldnt even think about having a chance, let alone actually having one

If thats true, why would the mossie have its ENY at 30? As to the GV thing, its the only axis fighter that can carry 2 1000lb bombs.

The 110 is being chosen as a town killer for good reasons: It has about double the destructive capacity in guns alone (7048lbs vs 3745lbs ord equivalent), quite important for example when ords are down.
And that is being reflected in usage numbers as well, on average the 110 has 2.5 times more kills&deaths as the Mossie.

So your actually better off taking the extra guns rather than the 1000lb bombs?

Usually not. Bombs have a big blast radius.

True, I hadn't concidered that. However, that would mean the mossie might still be able to destroy more buildings, dispite their ordanance carrying capacity being more or less equal.

Would the Mossie have been a more effective town killer, the smash&grab crowd would have figured that out long ago. ;)
