     Wondering what "role" the 410 is going to fill that isn't already filled by the 110 set?

The I-look-better-than-I-perform role  :D

The role of shooting down the B-29 that we will get first.

I don't think that the Me 410 would be particularly good at shooting down B29s.

Don't you think B-29 is a lot more famous than most other planes that we don't already have?


Every time I show people AH2 and explain how many planes AH2 has compared to other sims they always ask if it has a B-29.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Because a 388 mph (30 mph faster than the B29) level top speed and a 50mm cannon (if we get that variant) wouldn't do? Even with 6 20's or 4 20's and 2 30's, the 410 may be the ONLY ride that could intercept successfully a B29 in this game.
It would be the only heavy fighter to have the ability to engage for an extended amount of time....(considering mossies generally don't fair well in this role, due to the wooden construction)

Hmmmm... 410 was a quantum leap in performance over the 110 in all aspects.  I don't know why you are knocking it so much.  It's not as if we were talking about the Me-210 here.  The 410 was about 50 mph faster than the 110, and had much better turn and acceleration, and was well armed.

It still would have issues with single engine fighters ( an issue all twins would be burdened with), but your statement is puzzling from a factual basis, and you generally speak factually.

Then again 30mph speed advantage in level means that a 410 attacking a b29 with current modeling of ray-gun .50's means certain death unless the 410 has been loitering 10k higher and a b29 happens to pass by below it.

B29 would ruin this game. Every fun police on MA would be closing down fields and ending furballs 24/7. Bish would take milkruns to a new extreme.

I agree the -29 will be the death knell for the game. I have a feeling that it hasn't been added for exactly that reason, to date.  Which, brings me to the conclusion that the game isn't going well, in general, for them to consider adding it. 

But, that's just one man's opinion.

Didnt ask for the 410, I think its an unnecessary addition. That said it wont be nearly as much a game ruiner than the 29.

I voted for the 111
