410 was real unstable due to how close the two props were, it would be a pretty easy plane to shoot down and wouldn't be used much (IMO) We allready have a good town strafer in the 110. I DO think the 410 should be added someday, just not in the near future

There's a reason Milch hated this plane Bronk.   It was unsafe.

Real unsafe, i've seen quite a bit of guncam footage of 410s being shot down, their defensive maunvers were next to none, They were probably just afraid of their plane as the aircraft shooting at them.

haha me either, only reason I didn't bring up it being used to strafe GVs is because I imagine it would be modeled like a 152 (as far as stability is concerned) and I coudn't imagine being in a low and slow 152 trying to strage GVs while fiddling with your (flight) stick trying to aim

i think the $10 for the b 29 is a little excessive i think 1000 perks for a formation and then the $100 for the nuke is just fine

To validate the B-29 wish, here are some things you need to think about:

1. B-29 is huge and silver, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
2. It was designed for 30+K fighting.
3. In the MA's, you'd probably never see it above 15k, definitely 20k, just a giant donut target.
4. Incorporate all the mechanical problems into the B-29,you got a death trap.

 :rolleyes:

While it may have been designed for high altitude bombing missions, in reality a great deal of their missions over Japan were 20,000ft and lower, some even as low as 8,000ft due to the Jet Stream (not the sole reason but by and large, one of the major reasons for lower altitude bombing missions than what was designed and envisioned).

the 410 was a good plane, the 210 was the bird with all the mistakes and was fliing very instabil. thats why the luftwaffe export them to the romania airforce. but the 410 was a much better bird.
in Ah the 410 would be the perked 110 version. like the tempest and the typhoon.
i like the 410 and i hope we will see her some day in.

Romania didn't have any 210s. You're thinking of Hungary.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I said nothing about nukes. With the way it is, they wouldn't help that much anyway.

Just a single B-29
No Formation
300 perks
