Note that this is not the same case for rockets, which always increase drag, even once fired.
The Bf110G-2 performs as though it had not taken the rockets after they are fired.

Probably a bug or something then. They appear to be the same mounts as on the 109 and 190, which do incure drag penalties IIRC.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

The Ta152 had a special mounting for its DT so that it had no draggy sway braces. When dropped it suffered no speed loss.

The WGr rockets do in fact hurt the 110G last time I tested. If they don't NOW, I'd say it's a recent bug.

I assumed it was because it was an AH1 model.

AH1 still modeled a lot of stuff. The rocket tubes have always had drag and weight penalties. Par for the course.

It was produced in small numbers as the 109G-2/R1. Some were used in Norway and Finland to attack convoys in the arctic ocean. One is being restored here in Bodø right now.

According to german wiki 10 G-2/R1 were built by WNF but I assume they did not have the 500kg bomb option the prototype had (which required the additional wheel). BTW the DT image above should be a non-standard drop tank of a Me 410 (release by explosive bolt).
