Bingo!
Loosing an engine in any plane would more than likely result in an emergency procedure (DUH)
The difference being a twin has options a single does not have!
And the emergency procedure is not even the question!
That was just a tangent topic Crumpp started to take the focus of his initial reply to the original question that implied all twins have to stop what they are doing and start looking for a place to put down..
Which may be the case for the Bf110? I don't know, but based on the P-38 pilot accounts, that certainly was NOT the case.
As noted, a P-38 could do loops while running on one engine.
Which is not to say a P38 pilot would want to dog fight on one engine, it just highlights the silly notion that it is a characteristic of ALL TWINS must stop what they are doing and start looking for a place to put down
But I digress
The question was.. can a Bf110 be flown on one engine?
To which the answer is yes, both in game and real world
