Hitech, which version 410 will we be getting and what will be the weapon loadouts? There were quite a few different gun/ord packages and Im very curious ( Im sure others are as well ) what we will end up with. If you can shed some light on this it would be very much appreciated.

that's a good question, fanboys will be along shorty to tell ya

Don't even need fanboys. Tons of threads on both the Yak-3 and Me-410 lately.


Essentially the 410 has longer range, some of the guns packages are better than the 110G, carries almost all its bombs and guns internally so it's faster at almost all alts (except down by sea level, it's a little slower). It was faster up at altitudes where you might hunt bombers (if that's your concern), and its full-power altitude was slightly higher than the 110Gs.

A bare-bones description for ya.

The type doesn't come into play much. The 410A and 410B were the same. They only difference would really be which hangar options HTC chooses to add to the mix.

The winner will be moved into the next available production queue.

Whats the chance they are working on something else already?

[Krusty]

Pretty good chance. Might mean redoing older ones, or adding new ones. Look at all the panzers and P-40s we just got, eh?

I don't think they have any gaps in the production schedule, so they must (logically) always be working on something!

[B4Buster]

Pyro, I would be very interested in seeing this production queue 

[Jayhawk]

I wonder how many people voted for the Me-410 because they thought it was better than the Me-262.

410 > 262.

LOL! Wouldn't we all!

I think they don't list it for their own sanity... 5000-10000 community members clammoring to talk to HTC about why where and when their preferred ride is on the list, and only 10 or so HTC employees to respond! It's self preservation not to release that list! (my guess, at any rate...)

[perdue3]

So the 410 won?

[perdue3]

Late war blows.

[Krusty]

Late war blows.

And you think the Yak-3 would have changed that somehow?

The Me410 was operational end of '42 and early '43. That makes it midwar for the most part.

So, the community selected another, easy to kill, bomb truck.....

How boring.

Any single-engine fighter would have been better than the redundant Me 410. We already have two versions of the 110, and the Mosquito (which will eat the 410 alive).

Yeah, the suspense makes it more fun, anyway.

[Krusty]

How boring.

Quite possibly so!

It may very well end up being a dud (though part of me definitely hopes not)

I guess it depends on many factors, including your own wants/needs from the poll that didn't make it. Personally I would have found the Meteor rather boring, but others would have had a blast.


Edit: typo fix

i will do my best that you are going wrong, the 110 is a god fighter but the 410 will be better and i swear i will fly the 410 a complet year with out any other fighters to show its posibilitys :-)
