What Stormcrow said. Flying the 110 requires a lot of patience, it's seriously not a plane you want to bring into a dogfight. Speed is of the essence. The 110 is not a slow bird, in reality it was between the Spitfire and the Hurricane speedwise, which is not at all bad for an aircraft this size. In a way you have to treat the 110 like a 190, high speed boom and zoom maneuvers, making its devastating firepower count. It's like a two hander, incredible cumbersome and easily dodged, but when it hits, then it hits. This should also be reflected when flying it, making very wide turns and loops to not bleed energy at all. Hit and run tactics works best.
As was said already, the 110 is most effective in teamwork. But it also works as a solo plane if you keep your speed up, have some altitutde to play with and never, ever get sucked into a turning fight.
All that said, if flown right, the 110 can be really rewarding, even more so once it gets the M-shell. Diving down on an opponent and shredding him to bits at first pass is kinmda satisfying, to say the least. And there is no substitute when it comes to bomber hunting.
