I'd agree with that Alder. The British were more afraid of it that the 109 before the Battle of Britain but it never was a good heavy fighter but it was an excellent night fighter. It was not manouverable enough to combat single engined fighters but it was fine against bombers at night.DerAdlerIstGelandet said:The Bf-110 was a good idea and design that flopped in my opinion. It never really became what the Germans wanted it to be. It was a really great night fighter though.

On the Me110; I wonder if it had provided close escorts to the bombers in the BoB, to prevent head-on attacks

having un-manouverable fighters at the head of a bomber formation won't stop head on attacks, if you see a fighter coming at you firing at you and approaching with a closing speed of 500mph you're gonna move outta it's way no matter what you're in, but i do agree the -110 shouldda made more ground attacks in the BoB.........

Interceptor: Spitfire
Ground Attack/Fighter: Hawk-75
Maritime Patrol: PBY
And that's it. They can come to me. I'm not wasting resources on building bombers.
