Problems were solved w/ Me410.
Me410 was used during "Little Blitz" beginning of 1944.
Great plane, but as usual, too few too late.
And "obsolete" as a fighter in 1944, when pitched against P51 and P47.
The bad reputation of the Me210 is only true for the initial production run machines. Later Me210s had (among other things) a fuselage plug installed that lengthened the fuselage and mitigated much of the instability. The greater power and different wing of the Me410 further improved upon this. Late-model Me210s were deployed by the Luftwaffe in large numbers in the med and on the Ostfront (also see the Hungarian Me210Ca-1 s we have in game already).
