Well the famous wasp nosed bf110s were part of a Schnellkampfgeschwader bomber unit - SKG 210. It makes sense that bf110 in a fighter unit flew Rotte and bf110 in a bomber unit flew Kette ... though I cannot quote any historical sources to back this up.

I have even seen artwork of fw190, supposedly in a Schnellkampfgeschwader, flying in a kette.
