It Got Bigggg Guns. Me410 on Front Page.

[Tank-Ace]

K4- Speed/acceleration
La-7 - Speed/Acceleration
P51- Speed/Ords
190D- Speed/Acceleration
Tempest -Speed/Acceleration
F4U4 - Everything
F4U1C - Firepower
Spit14 - Climb rate (the highest besides 163 IIRC)

With the 410, it would have the firepower that makes it eligible to be perked.

IIRC, the 30mm Mk 103 410 will have less forward firepower than the Bf-110. Really, the only perkable part about it is the 50mm BK-5.

Me-410s firepower won't get it perked, one fighter around it is enough to beat it 1vs1, unless someone decides to be in an I-16.
Look at the list of perkable choices, if anything the Me-410 sits between 5/10 eny.

If were going to perk the Me-410 due to firepower, then there are a dozen other aircrafts to consider perking like the Fw-190a8.
Yeah it makes no sense, so leave it alone.

I agree, it's forward fire power in no way unbalances the game play which would require it being perked.

What size "tail" guns are those?

[Butcher]

What size "tail" guns are those?

13mm

13mm

Thank you sir.

[Hap]

Think "weight."  Of cannon iron and bullets.

I am quite shocked that people think this thing should be perked.

As it stands any 30 or 37mm hit will blow your fighter out of the air - so should we perk the 39 or the yakT?  No.  It is quite absurd that this discussion on the celebration of the 410 has turned into an 11 page cry fest over how imba overpowered it is.  And then to drag this into a huge discussion over how perks are done. 

The 410 may be a bit faster and climb a bit better then a 110, but it will still be an easy target for a dedicated single seat fighter with the same risks you face against a 110 today.  it will enjoy a period of newness popularity and when that pass' we will see it employed against bombers and GVs.  Lets see what it does before we start calling for it to be perked.

What would you guys do if the 262 had 2 MK103 firing the tater with the same trajectory at 860m\sec as the Hispano? Wasen't there a variant with 2-MK103 and 2-MG151\15?

This might be a good platform to introduce perked loadouts. Not perked aircraft.

Ditto... It's probably, for all intents and purposes, going to be a freaking brick with wings. Not sure why a select few are freaking out about it. Maybe they're the ones who only know how to HO and are now afraid they have to learn NOT to?

One thing about the Me410 is that the cockpit glass extends way down the nose. That, coupled with the firepower should make it the best deflection shooter in the game. That glass will make my favourite "turn below their nose" anti-HO maneuver a bit riskier too.

However it is a one trick pony on the whole, if it misses that shot there is not much it can do but run. There are plenty of faster planes to be found in the MA that can run it down too. It will be a good plane to be in a horde with but not a good one to be fighting a horde with.

By the screenshots it looks like were getting 4 variants. Can anyone give the specific loadouts for each?

I am quite shocked that people think this thing should be perked.

Within a day of the original Mosquito Mk VI being added back in 2001 there were people posting that it needed to be perked.

There seems to be a number of people, not the same people as I doubt many of the 2001 group are still around, who react to anything new that isn't completely outclassed by saying it should be perked.
