Me410

[iron650]

Night fighter, heavy fighter. (Light bomber and bomber destroyer, too) They were a very elusive night fighter that the RAF had a hard time finding. They had ease getting to destroy unescorted bombers. They were having hard times against the lighter P-47s and P-51s. The first 410 loss was against a Mosquito at night.

The Hornet will be helpful for both bombing, strike, and anti-gv roles. Also, on D-Day the Hornet coordinated with Ju188s to try to stop the advance.

Wait there was an ealier thread on this?

Just found the earlier thread. Anyways, it's like the 110, good at bomber interception. In AH I feel it's going to ground/strike though.

it was in the poll last time we got to vote on new plane.. it lost though, everyone wanted the stupid B29 instead.


you also forgot to mention the BK 5 50mm cannon.

The 50mm was in a later model. I'm talking about the A-1. Also, I don't think the plane had any other guns beside the 50mm when it was made.

Hopefully we get the 410 soonish.

 (actually, + 48% of the players in AH, is about how many voted for it)

if this ever got put into the game, then the b29 deserves to ether be unperked, or have its perk cost reduced.

a fighter that can go faster than the bomber&has a 50mm cannon that can engage the b29 far out of the b29's defensive fire range? yea, not worth flying the b29 for 100+ perkies when that can happen.

[iron650]

Again this is the A model. Not the other model they were talking about in the thread.  

Because a number of sources list (e.g.) the B-2/U4 variant as carrying both a BK5, and MK103's and/or MG151/20's.

Me410 will be a sitting duck to any fighter.

If the BK50 is included as an option, it will likely be perked.  The probable effect of the Mosquito Mk XVIII with the 57mm Molins gun on bombers was a specific concern Pyro expressed regarding it being potentially added.

Apparently it was averagely used in anti-bomber (like the 110 was originally) roles along with anti-vehicle role.

I am going you on this, we will get it with in........3 years!

During daylight ops both the Bf110 and Me410 are sitting ducks.

true, but how many single man b29's fly with escorts?
