I just imagine the aircraft being weak because of the way it is designed, bomb bay up front under the pilots nuts, x4+ 20mm cannon ammo under and behind him, then the 15mm ammo stored half way through the fuselage, wings packed FULL of fuel and a nice lightly armored cockpit to see out of.



Everything about the A/C SCREAMS sexy, and dont let me get hit with anything or i go kaboom. (that's hot)  


Ill stick to my A20 tho thanks. (HTC, please update the A-20, WE need the .30 cal in the belly and im stick and tired (hah) of the glitchgy handling and bouncing the nose encounters with even minimal stick force input.  :pray

I tested it offline at 1000, 1500, and 2000. It has a wicked "random" dispersion but, shows a dominat left hand spin drift in the patterning aggregation. Could be a bug. Inside of 1000 shooting is about dead center of the gunsight with random dispersion all over the place. 400 and closer its a dead on shot.

Range----Drop----disp-----Left Hand Spin drift.
1000----(5Mil)---(10Mil)---(10Mil)
1500----(10Mil)--(10Mil)---(10Mil)
2000----(25Mil)--(20Mil)---(10Mil)

Testing based on a 100Mil ring, 512x512 bitmap 1Mil = 2Pixel. The number 256 in the (.mil) file. Me410 311 TA 1000 feet levels the aircraft to a zero line.

Had to use (.target 2000 360 358) to see patterning at 2000 yards.

Well I just took one apart with a few hits from a LA7 cannon. Heres what Im trying to understand. The 410 was supposed to be an upgrade to the 110G, but, from what I can see in the game its basically a downgrade in several areas except for the novelty of a 50mm gun. Which may, or may not, prove usefull.

Not all "upgrades" were successful.  I think people stopped reading about the Me 410 after what gun packages were available and didn't bother reading up on its flight characteristics.  Just another example of the AH masses wanting a plane with lots of cannons.

It's a twin engined 190A8.  :) Come in high, grab a few kills on the way down, rinse and repeat. You can't TnB with anything except another 410.

I dunno, you might be able to handle a fully loaded B-29 so long as it doesn't shoot :D

Agreed.  Same thing likely to happen when AH gets the A26.

  I think what many people don't fully appreciate is the difference on the MK108 cannon and the MK103 cannon. At 2800 fps muzzle velocity, the latter has a 1000 fps+/- advantage over the MK 103. That's HUGE boys and girls. Not only in its ability to damage but in an infinitely better trajectory and ease of shooting crossing targets (less lead).
  To put it in perspective, the MK108's MV is roughly equivalent of a black powder muzzle loading rifle firing a lead ball.  (Please, no one flame me telling me your muzzleloader fires at 2000 fps)
If you approach from me from my 12:00 you will be unapologetically HO'ed.

<3 the MK103s. Only reason to fly it. I'm landings hits 600 yards away while pulling lead consistently. Sex in a barrel.

I'm glad you didn't mention my Beaufighter :)

Don't want to dogfight in it, but do want to fly to the Norway Fjords and attack shipping in it.  That or Fly it in Burma or over the Med :)

Total waste of time putting this hunk of junk in the game. Shoulda put a bristol beaufighter in the game instead. Thats my two cents on the topic.
