I stand corrected. My sources indicated that the B series was withdrawn from first-line service and just used for training prior to September 1939.
But, if advanced training units were deployed to Poland, or if Bf-110B were deployed to bring first-line units up to full strength during the Poland and Norway campaigns, then I could believe the B series saw combat, albeit in limited numbers.
Even so, it's impossible to include every model of every plane in the game. The selection of Bf-110 that TD has provided us does a very good job of covering the day fighter and attack versions from late 1940 to 1945. The only major variant that's missing is one of the very earliest C models.
Given that we've got maps of Norway and will be getting a map of 1940 France, the C-1 variant seems the most logical if TD wanted to give us one more early war variant. (But, if TD is still working on more Bf-110 variants, I'd want the F4/U-1 and G4/R-8 versions much more.)
