Bf-110 is THE fighter

[bongodriver]

of course it gave good account, many aircraft did, more testament to the crews abilities though, even the hurricane gave a good account of itself and we all know what a pig that is (highest scoring aircraft in the batttle of britain)

The Hurricane in 1940 was no pig. Many pilots prefered it, it was more rugged, a better gun platform and could turn inside a spitfire. By 1941 tho it certainly was outclassed and you have to feel sorry for the pilots who had to fly it.

I meant pig by comparison to its counterparts

I am fairly confident the 110, used with the advantage of superior tactics born from hindsight, will be a very deadly opponent. The late war B&Z crowd will probably be able to do wonders with it against planes with limited operational hight.

That's my take as well. I guess P-47/Tempest/P-51/190 veterans of the old Il-2 will be deadly with it..

If a Me 110 can out maneuver a Spitfire or a Hurricane there is a mistake somewhere.

Rookie pilots who did not know their aircraft could easily be out-turned by a Bf-109 or even Bf-110.

But besides range, I don't see what advantages a Bf-110 had over a Bf-109.

Question: does CoD model the cannon drum reload? Or does it behave like a belt-fed gun?

Ive flown it for few hours after I saw this thread (thought it was pretty useless, like in IL-2).
I must say it exceeded my expectations by far, as I can score more kills with it than with BF-109. It has more ammo (3x60 rounds for each gun), the guns are centered, have higher ROF than 109, and is quite fast (faster than the Spit1). It cannot turn well and bleeds alot of airspeed, but when used in boom and zoom, it is in my hands the most effective plane in this game.
