Hotard assures me that he only attacks head on.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Hey!  The Battle was an uber plane, it was just used wrong!  It would be a real contender in the LW arena, where people would know how to use it properly!

So now we're trying to make it better then it really is?
Should have researched before you voted.  When the Luftwaffe pulled it that should have been a hint.
HTC did their research as always and have given this aircraft to the winners of the voting.
Yup, its already a game changer and i wantz to make it even bettah cuz imm DawidWhales  :lol
Seriously speaking, the appropiate research was done. Ask Moot, he knows a lot more than me.

The efficacy of the 410 barbettes depends on who aims them. You should hear the chatter on our squad channel...

  "Hey, Vilkas, you want to gun for me?"
  "No! Vilkas was gonna gun for *me*!"
  "I invited Vilkas first!"
  "Did not!  *I* did!"
  "You're *all* wrong! Vilkas is gunning for *me*!"

...und so weiter.   ;)

Haven't had the chance to fly her yet, so can't comment on the rear gun. I did hear the mighty 410 downed zwei 262's. "WHO" would've guessed? :devil

If you take the 2 extra 20mm and empty all the rear guns, and BBs the 410 weighed according to the E6B 20K

Giving it a 2K drop of weight not much of a difference in my opinion.  :salute

seems like some me410s removed the barbettes and all the rear gun equipment.

was this done to save weight?

would removing all the rear gun equipment make the 410 significantly lighter? (500-1000lbs?)



I don't see why not..... the tail removes faily easily...... saving weight too.

I believe anything more than 10gs is coded to kill the pilot.
