Bf-110 is THE fighter

Read that too. Can't remember exactly why. Bad turning ability? Maybe speed (although with two engines that sounds strange).

Then they used it for low-level bombing experimentally, and it worked wonders. I don't think the technique was widely adopted though, for some reason.

Yep...not very manouverable, and being quite large with 2 engines and quite heavy (not being made of wood a la mosquito) made it slow.

And you can build nearly two 109´s out of one 110. So I would stick to the smaller plane. ^^

The huge problem was that they used the wrong tactics. "Enger Geleitschutz" (the fighters staying near the bombers) instead of "Freie Jagd" (Search and Destroy)
