I wonder why they didn't load up the 110 a lot more. I mean it could probably carry 8 50kg bombs on the wings, with another 8 on the fuselage if you packed them in tight. Could almost use it as a light bomber.
The wings are clearly capable of carrying even 500kg bombs, structurally speaking. A 110 packing that much would almost be perk worth in terms of sheer destructive capability (greater than any single bomber, save the Lancaster and B-29, and greater than even a set of light bombers.
The 110 leads a funny life, it started out as a Destroyer - a long range fighter which turned up great until Battle of Britain (mainly due to flying against obsolete junk). During BoB it was useless as a fighter, and ground attack wise carrying bombs made it a fat target. In Barbarosa did alright bombing airfields and doing limited fighter roles, however it was being phased out completely for the Me-210 - however enough were built it could continue flying, however the Me210 was a total failure, bringing the Me-110G into production.
The Bf-110E was the fighter bomber variant, however it was considered underpowered and if you lumbered 2k in ords it was rather...slow as hell (consider the C model with only 1k in ords).
I think it got brought back to life due to the British bombing at night, and the American Air raids which when unescorted the 110 and 410 did some serious damage (otherwise with escort fighters, neither were useful at all), I say around december 1944 is when it disappeared again (once the P51B showed up).
After that it stayed as a night fighter serving quite well.
But because everything shifted to the Me-210 is what really killed the 110, it probably could of been a decent fighter/bomber since it had some pretty great firepower along with bombs, however the G model was a jack of all trades type 110.
