Maybe this is an easy one?
« on: August 20, 2019, 05:47:42 PM »
Since we have the C and the G. What about the F?

Pilots typically felt the Bf 110F to be the best of the 110 line, being fully aerobatic and in some respects smoother to fly than the Bf 109, though not as fast.

Maybe give the C the engines and climb rate of the G and call it the F?
(it's probably a good idea that I don't have access to the code) I'd come up with all sorts of crazy combinations hehe

Personally I'd like to see the "C" get the 30mm central cannon and the "G" get the 37mm central cannon.

If we just had the 2X 20mm + 4X7mm gun loadout, the G would be useful in more events. The 30mm make it OP in most cases.

 Pretty sure the CiC's can disable that loadout but it's been awhile.

 Some 110C's had the 30mmMk101 cannon and some G's had the BK3.7,not sure of the loadout of the Mk101 but the BK had 66 rounds...... :x

All weapon loads on the HA 110G have the 2X 20mm + 2X 30mm base load. There is no way to not have 30mm cannons in AH

Initial 110 production historically had 2x Mg151/20 cannons and 4x Mg17 machine guns. Later, the Mg17's were replaced with the Mk 108 30mm cannons.

Might as well throw the E in there too while you're at it.

In the MA, the F series might increase the numbers of 110 seen by a little bit. It's engines and weight would make it ACM in the realm of the Mossi6 but, slower in general. Still, it could be competitive in the MA, or you can up the G with 25% and droppers while having a superior gun package. I can't help get the impression from reviewing the history of the C-E variants that they were all dogs, and for scenarios, the C does fine as a dog 110 for all of them. That leads me to think the F is wanted for the fleeting possibility it might turn out to be an unexpected competitor in the MA while it's still sporting MG-FF 20mm. And 1-500 under the fuselage and 2-50 on each wing, the G carries more MA destruction power with more powerful engines.

Must have been a reason we got only the C and G.

I was basing it on this: (which I read on the internet so it must  be true!)

Pilots typically felt the Bf 110F to be the best of the 110 line, being fully aerobatic and in some respects smoother to fly than the Bf 109, though not as fast.

I've kilt many a fool with a C that didn't expect me to be able to hang with them.

Yup.  I remember N7 was also a killer in 110Cs.  Part of it is the surprise factor; but, like many of the planes, you do have to master its characteristics to be good in it.
