Me 210: The Hornet Swarm

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…

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

So Gaijin yet again f’d up an aircraft with several variants. They didn’t bother to give the A-1 models their correct weight but gave them the weight of the later models. So the early models are underperforming because they have the weight of the DB 605 engined models and thei lighter DB 601 engines are not taken into account.

This can’t be bug reported as they don’t accept bug reports with datamined information. Anyone interested can check it out on statshark.

At least don’t waste your GE on the Japanese premium!

I shure hope we will see the 15mm Guns when it lits live.

Is the Hungarian one lighter at least, compared to the German one? All the underside armor plating was removed on the Ca version.

They all weigh the same I believe if I recall correctly. I might be able to post a screenshot later, but you can check it on the statshark FM calculator running “info”. Don’t do any bug reports on datamined information. They are immediately closed. Gaijin has become incredibly lazy lately and something like this always happens when they introduce various variants of the same aircraft at the same time. No quality control whatsoever, it’s all down to the kid who makes the FM and he can take whatever shortcuts he wants.

Their “fixes” are also another matter. They are now “fixing” the Hawk 209 by making the gunpod removable. Their “fix” is removing the graphical representation of the gunpod and disabling it. But that doesn’t affect the flight performance at all. The bug report is here: Community Bug Reporting System

It’d be really kind from anyone to click “I have the same issue” if the report makes sense.
