nachtjagers with advanced radar having a high survival rate ... good thing im seated.

as a day time fighter the 110 proved to be quite vulnerable. that isn't to say it wasn't a good platform but it was no match for single seat fighters.

the biggest failing though was they were forced to fly close escort. had goering not been a total moron he would have employed the 110s as hunter killer escorts screening well in front of and ahead of the he-111s attacking the hurricanes and spits before they had a chance to out position the incoming bombers.

then had the 109s clean up anything that got through.
