BF110G

[RTHolmes]

yup, havent used it for a few tours but it used to be my fav buff hunter, like baldeagle said its one of the best. critical alt is ?21k, it carries 4 of the only standoff A2A weapons in the game (cant believe no one has mentioned the Wgrs yet ) and enough cannon ammo to kill several formations of buffs (and enough cannons to 1-pass buff formations in a slashing attack.)

not a bad fighter either when you get used to it, just ask dastardly

has anyone here other than boxman, baldeagl, and I ever flown a freaking 110 above 5,000ft? seriously

I came across two Bf110Gs flying in perfect formation at about 15,000ft once while flying a Mossie.  I destroyed both in about a second.  Felt kinda guilty about it as they were probably really focused on maintaining tight formation and not situational awareness, but ah well, let your guard down and you pay for it.  Just being behind lines doesn't make you safe.

I regularly do long range bomb runs at altitude and being attacked by 110's isn't that rare. While I often slow down and/ or do some maneuvering to get enemy fighters closing in for a fight, I absolutely dread 110's even on my low 6 and usually just outclimb them to avoid confrontation.

[Ack-Ack]

Only an anecdote, but an American P-47 pilot described the Bf110 as "meat on the table".

Yeah, that's pretty much my thought when I see one in the MA.  I know I'm gonna have a kill when I encounter a Bf 110G, they're just out classed by most of the fighters in the game.  Nothing wrong about that, it's how it was in real life a well.

Honestly I think its to low.  I have done many ground attack mission in it.  Most of the time I get killed or receive 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.

Hover over a base being bombed, up high in one, with rockets, waiting for lumbering bombers, and practice. Another reason for ENY of 10. It is definitely one of the best Bomber killers.

Smart man. That's the only way I've been soundly defeated in my 110 with rockets. On one occasion a guy climbed until I couldn't climb anymore then he out tuned me until the fighters caught up and they got me.

i was in a pony once and somehow a 110 stuck with me in a circular climb for 5k feet. (yes i know i could have ran away)

You should have spiral roped him, no way the Bf110G could have followed you up unless he had a huge overwhelming energy advantage.

The Bf110G-2 is one of the most powerful and rugged buff hunters in the game.  I guess I'm one of the few that take it high enough to use it in that role.  I've sat 600 yards dead six and taken 50+ hits from a set of B-17's, killed them all and flown home again.

It's also not as bad a fighter as people think.  Yes it's a tub but if you have an inkling of skill and know what to do it can keep you alive.  I fought a 5 minute fight one night in one against a Spit XVI.  I died in the end but that was really fun trying to avoid his shots and get one of my own.

Air to air fighter:  not so good
Air to air buff hunter:  well above average; among the best
Air to ground:  Never use it in that role... don't care.

Yes, I've taken my 110 above 20k. Dove down to 15k after accelerating at 20k so I could make a pass at the 91'st without the escorting 321BAR interfering. After my second pass, 3-4 of his pony's caught me.

As to the 110's bomber killing preformance: comicly, the I-16 with the 4 7mm mgs will out preform the 110 offline if you hit the bombers right. I killed a lancaster with a 1 second snapshot, far outside of convergance.

  Why do you insist on posting such nonsense?

 To compare the firepower of the 110,either of them, to an I16 and say the I16 will outperform them is absolutely wrong.

  You can get lucky and hit the cockpit of any plane and kill it with 1 round but that in no way is an estimation of gun performance.


  BTW,I corrected all the spelling mistakes in your quote,just in case you thought I might have change your words!

It's just par for the course for Nemisis.
