the hungarian Me 210 was not the same of the 210 originally put in service in the luftwaffeMe210 was actually produced and hapless geschwaders got stuck with it and the pilots hated it.
It got passed off on the Hungarians, who actually liked it and did remarkably well with it.
Sound familiar?
Thankyou, it is now obvious that the Me210 could and would have won the BoB if only those fools could have seen it.I beleive it's entirely possible.
Perhaps the nose armor was an issue as well.
Exactly!Thankyou, it is now obvious that the Me210 could and would have won the BoB if only those fools could have seen it.
Pity those guys weren't as clued up as like wot we is.Exactly!
It's shortcomings were so glaringly obvious, that even random people on an internet site could spot the issues 75 years later!

I think I can see some handy thread convergence here, great shout.Ah, but let's not forget that if the RLM had chosen the Fw 187 instead of the Bf 110, the RAF would have been swept from the sky in 1940, AND the Luftwaffe would have had a MOSSIE KILLER! Nose armour? Who needs it! Heater? There's not even enough room in the cockpit for all its instruments!

As a precaution the British developed the Blackburn Badger, it was as crap as all the other Blackburns but painted with a black and white nose to cause dachshund CoG issues and the infamous dachskrankheit in air crews.The Hungarian Me-210 had a Daschund in the nose that could run fore and aft when a change of CG was necessary. Only Black and Brown Daschunds could be used, however. It was an Austrian requirements forced on Messerschmitt, much as the pesky British ruined the otherwise flawless P-39, turning it into an urchin-snouted codpiece.
As a result, the production of Me-210s was held up while more Black and Brown Daschunds were bred and raised to be center-of-gravity dogs. Otherwise, we'd have lost the war.

I think they wanted it on lend lease, the sort of thing they did do. Mainly so they could write books about it later.Didn't the RAF trial the Me210, made some unrealistic mods and then rudely cancel the order?
Would moving a small piece of electrical equipment have helped at all?
Sorry to disappoint, fellas, but I'm far too pragmatic and level-headed to suggest that the poor old Buffalo was a good aircraft. It certainly doesn't deserve the reputation it has as a death trap that was shot down in droves. The fates conspired against it in British and US service to put it at a distinct operational and tactical disadvantage when thrown into combat...but as a fighter aircraft it was mediocre at best.
