Japanese Messerschmitt Me 210 A-1 W.Nr.2102350

Wouldn’t it be better than that? Except for the DB 601 F, Werk Nr. 2350 was brought up to Me 410 standards

I don’t think so? I’ll admit, I’m not an expert on German aircraft, but from what I understand the plane’s main claim to fame is being one of the worst aircraft of the war. Maybe later variants improved on this, but the one the Japanese got was the A-1 variant, which was one of the earliest variants, so it’s unlikely that they got one that was ‘fixed’, otherwise it would be a later variant.

@TT33a

Germany definitely should not get one since we have the Me 410

I find it silly to say that Germany should not get a German aircraft. Germany should get the ME-210 because it is a German plane, and that is reason enough for them to get it.

@Grzegames

Whatever you call it, Gaijin itself encourages me to write about planes captured/purchased for Japan. 2 years ago he promised to strengthen the Japanese CAS and, for now, he has added a fictitious F-16AJ aircraft and an F-5E division vehicle. The Japanese have many CAS aircraft, but they are not added…

If they do not want to add the domestic CAS option, then you need to add the foreign CAS option. That’s why I proposed foreign CAS planes for Japan and that doesn’t mean I won’t propose more Japanese CAS planes.

I don’t understand the point your trying to make here. First of all, I want the domestic stuff to be added. It’s what gives trees their flavor and why I don’t like all this copy paste stuff in the game. If the issue is premiums, it would be better to have a premium minor variant or based on a specific plane. Secondly, the question never was could a ME-210 be added, there is plenty of precedent for it, it was if it was a good idea and, to be blunt, it is not, especially as it would require the Japan devs to invest resources that would be better suited in implementing an indigenous design. Thirdly, I do not like the Japanese F-16, and I would rather it not be added. The F-5E is fine, as it is not a Japanese vehicle, rather a Thai vehicle being put into the Japanese tech tree, and the two nations did, to my understanding, have friendly relations during WW2.

It says A-2 Nr. 2350 in the book excerpt that I posted above. Here it is again:

For Hungary & Japan, yes. For the Germans, there is no reason for them to receive a 210 as the 410 superseded it. There is no need for an unnecessary intermediate configuration when the standard established design was the 410

This version is a bit confusing. Some sources say it was the A-2 version, others say the long version of the A-1, and others say it was the V22 prototype. This does not change the fact that this is not a failed short version of A-1 or A-0.
Yes, there were two versions of the A-1. Short and long
