Me410

[GScholz]

Yeah, oh and I expected more ord options with external bombs and the gun pod, but I guess there are game-limitations that get in the way of those.

[Krusty]

I'm not entirely sure it's game limitations. They could have fit more options in there with the available hangar space. Even the no-forward-MGs options, or external bombs, gunpod, on the DT/WGR column. Point of order: Lose the DTs if you need to put something more representative in! They made it to London and back on internal fuel only. They rarely used DTs.

[Denniss]

Was there ever a gunpod on the Me410? Was it possible to install one?
Can't remember to see one or ever read about it.

Perhaps, but is there room for another weapon station in the hangar. Isn't there one separate list for every weapon station (hardpoint) ?

 I am of course am happy to see any new plane added and the ME-410 is no exception. HTC did a great job on the detail of both the last new planes. However how cool would it be to have the JU-88 model variants in the game like the JU-88 C-4 & C-7 heavy fighter. How about the JU-88 P-1 with a 75mm gun or the P-3 with a 37MM or the P-4 with the 50MM. The JU-88 also had a version with an upward firing 20MM guns, the G-6 I think. Plus the JU-88 is fast and tough I see folks dog fight in it now with just one forward firing MG. What if we had the 20mm MG solid nose variant (C-7) I for one would jump over an ME-410 to fly a JU-88 with a 37MM or 50MM gun in it's nose. I think if we had the fighter versions of the JU-88 it would have to lose the F-3 Mode as a single fighter but keep it for the bomber version.

Being one of the most versatile aircraft of the war the Ju 88 deserves many more versions modeled. However the Me 410 won the vote for next new aircraft to be added to the game. I'm sure when HTC decides to update the Ju 88A-4 they will ad more versions, just like they've done with the Ju 87. I'd also like to see the Ju 188 and Ju 388 added.

Also, I'm a bit.... "worried" about the handling. It seems very touchy. I can move my stick back half a degree and even at moderate speeds the slats pop out instantly. Not even more than 1G and those things are out constantly. It's bleeding speed like mad. Not sure why.

Slats deploy according to angle of attack, it has nothing to do with speed or G load.

I thought it was due to air pressure, or the lack thereof.

Changing the angle of attack is what changes the air pressure.

Right, so air pressure is the primary thing, angle of attack is one of the methods to reduce air pressure to trigger it.  The other being low speed.

<-- Flew the 110 as a fighter before it was cool. 

I flew one of the funnest 110C sorties in the LWA I've ever had the evening that the 410 was released.

How many Me410s did you bag?

[Babalonian]

How many Me410s did you bag?

One if not any I think, mostly I was going against fighters comming to me looking for easy 410/110 kills.

You can't fly slowly without the angle of attack that deploys slats at any speed.
