Good 210/410 linkage

Spanish-language forum, but a variety of bits and pieces, some of which I'd not seen before:

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Some interesting pictures in there. I like the one showing the cable and pully system used to hoist bombs into the bomb bay.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

That one's been shown in other references, but some of the others are more rare. Interesting find.  :aok

Not so much, really. The fight was really an administrators and an engineer's battle. The pilots wanted them. They had better performance than the 110Cs they were replacing. They were being field tested in 1940, even. Can you imagine the impact they would have had on early war planes with their performance? The 210C lengthened the tail and added leading edge slats and remedied most of the problems already.

The rest was political bickering, in-fighting, and bureaucratic saber rattling.

Although... Willi Messerschmitt should really know how to design a set of landing gear and brakes by then. THAT was truly inexcusable. More planes lost due to failing gear or no brakes than in combat, I'd wager!

Just a few (2-3) examples, I think.

Really cool find thank you for sharing! I did enjoy the photos of different bomb/gun/rocket configuration

Krusty a question for ya:
There's a photo of an experimental skin for the Me210 for the Hungarians - do you think it could be added in game?

Well the reason I ask (because I am not a skinner or know the rules) but It was an experimental skin - would that be allowed?

I know the 210 skins can be added, but wasn't sure about experimental skins, this one just seems really nice.

Well there's different kinds of experimental... In this case it means a nonstandard camo. There were far more experiemental ones (i.e. prototypes, experiments, test planes, etc) that are not valid. However this was a combat camo patter that falls into the category of custom-mottling on Luftwaffe planes.

So based on that alone, yes it's valid. The question is whether HTC will accept a very similar 210Ca on the 410. They were very similar and the 210Ca was powered with slightly less powerful engines. I will definitely try to get that specific skin into the game.
