Here are some changes effected by the Hungarians.
Me 210A-0 was re-engined with 1475 hp DB 605B engines without MW 1 Methanol injection. It was used as a pattern aircraft with lengthened fuselage and wing leading egde slots. Other than engines, the variants produced by Hungary were essentially the same as modified by Messerschmitt.
One modification was a Me 210Ca-1 into an assault aircraft with MG 17 mg replaced by a single 40mm 39M type AA cannon and 3 150mm Nebelwerfer rocket tubes mounted under each wing. Only 4 were actually produced.
Pretty interesting stuff. One group, 102 Gyorsbombazo osztaly between Aug 44 and march 45 flew 800 missions and shot down 20 to 25 Soviet aircraft. Pretty good for a ground attack unit.
Maybe standards were different between the two air forces and the 210 didn't fit what Germany was looking for. From what I've read the 210 was a pretty poor aircaft and I'm surprised that anyone even tried to fly it operationally.
