My fellow players. Lay down your swords, HTC might have tricked us and we all got worked up for nothing.. May have, may have not. So we shall wait... And vote in silence.

That's definitely another way of looking at it...but then the whines of "the B29 is too good" will be in effect. :(
Not to mention it will be 200 perks per plane (just random guess) but i wouldn't doubt it'd be a perked bird no less an over priced one...  :noid

I wonder if Me 410 is luftwaffe's Mosquito 6 in terms of firepower and speed...

No. It'll be faster than a Bf110, but slower than a Mossie Mk6. What makes the M410 unique is it's gun loadout options. Will basically be used as a dive bomber and bomber destroyer. As for dogfighting, it's options will be limited due to mediocre performance in comparison to MW and LW planes. The Me410 was essentially Germany's attempt to replace the slower, less agile, Bf110.

A Mossie Mk6 will eat the Me410 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner any day of the week.

*The reason why I voted for the Me410 is because the P38 needs more axis twin engine birds to shoot down.* :devil

Like the Bf 110, it also had to be escorted by Bf 109s and FW 190s.

No, the Mossie FB.VI really will dominate the Me410.  The Mossie is 20-30mph faster on the deck and has much lower wing loading.

I have a feeling that the B-29 will win.

I voted Beau. But hey, everyone will find a reason to vote against the most used Strike Fighter in the RAAF  :mad:

"No, the Mossie FB.VI really will dominate the Me410."

Is that a feeling or fact? While being quite close to perfomance the Me410 also has leading edge slats so despite its higher wingloading it can exceed the AoA limits the Mossie has so I'd expect these planes to be quite close in turning perfomance although the Mossie might actually be a bit worse. The Mossie VI is also optimized to lower altitudes at it is a fighter bomber so the Me410 is faster at its optimal altitude which is at 19k.

From AH Wiki on Mossie VI: While not a tank killer, the HE warheads of the 20mm Hispanos have been known to play havoc with the track or engine of a tank, or even disable their main gun."  Well, can't beat that BS...:lol

Karnak, what are the exact data numbers you used for your calculation?

I wonder if the 410 would be the better fighter above 15k though? It was designed for higher alt work, unlike the FB VI.
