Me 210: The Hornet Swarm

image

The 210/410 bomb bay was significantly different from the 110’s bomb carriage system.

Because the nose was a lot shorter, it was up under that nose so that there would be as little change to centre of gravity as possible when loading and dropping bombs.

And of course the cabin itself was considerably smaller than the 110 greenhouse, so the 2 setups are simply nothing like each other

Is this a typo or what

Looks like the 210 receives its wing bomb racks. I suppose that now there is no excuse for them to remain incorrectly missing from the Me 410 and you will finally correct all Me 410 to have them, right gaijin?:

And yes even the Umrüst-Bausatz U2 & U4:

It doesn’t. Makes no sense for the Germans to get a cancelled 210 when its superior & immediate replacement (410) is already in the game. Its just a lazy copy/paste done by gaijin to placate the people who want WW2 Luftwaffe stuff instead of them putting in some actual work to make a unique late war aircraft that is actually wanted such as the:
Ju 88 S-3
He 111 H-11, H-22
He 177 A-7, B-5
Fw 187 A-0 (although this one is early war)
Fw 190 A-9, F-9, G-8
Ar 196 A-5
Fw 200 C-4
He 219 A-6
Ju 287 A
Ju 290 A-7
Ju 390
Ar 440 A
Ju 488 A

The 410 should also have 1,000 kg as well but you know how biased gaijin is:

Actually, make that 1,200 kg (1,000 kg plus the four 50 kg missing wing bombs):

It should have 32 rounds with 8 magazines, 4 rounds for each

Can you find a source for that?

I mean, at least we’re getting it for Hungary.

That would be awasome

The Me 210 is missing its 15mm Option. Which i reported for Dev. That would make a slight difference. Tho superficial…

The only source I can find is from the web:
https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/what-of-the-me-410.829/

unfortunatly the photo had expired…

Also for the ammunition, it should have APHE…

https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=111469&start=75

No matter how does it looks, only 12 rounds is ridiculous… I would like to know how those developers believed it could only take 12 rounds…

It already has Aphe, in the default belt.

Yes but only 6 is out of 12

Thats just an belt issue, not that it isnt there. Which is a ballancing problem, maybe.
Either way its not something you can report, but youll have to suggest at the next BR changes.

Bias thunder strikes again 😂

It’s unlikely to change unless people bring attention to the issue.

Otherwise devs will just be:
Yak-9K → Full APHE belt
Me 210 → 50% APHE

No issue there 🤓

ammo count should be adjusted to 44x 40mm soon tho. Its manual states 44 rounds, and the report is accepted.

I noticed that they rejected this:

I was under the impression that the 210/410’s internal bomb bay were of identical dimensions. Whoever made this bug report, you should have used these:

I really hope they will fix it until the update, I want to bring this into my 4.0 lineup

Me about to break into tears with how many WW2 vehicles will be researchable this update
