Default BF110 is not a fighter or a bomber

th BF110 was a heavy fighter these were made to try and increase range and combat time the best plane of this class was the P82 twin mustang

I think they could make another view much like the bombardiers view- just looking the other way. If it has a cockpit view it could still be another view from the inside- just looking at the ceiling of the canopy (through a set of crosshairs mounted on it).

What I find amazing, and inaccurate, IMHO, is how easy I can dogfight flying in an iL-2. Although I can't outturn a Bf-109, I still manage to knock down just about everything in Sim mode. I'm good, but, not that good.

The Bf-110 is pretty easy meat in a Dogfight, and I have little problem dispatching them. It has the same problem every multiseat fighter has: too heavy to mix it up. The only exceptions are the Mosquito and some of the later Ju-88's, G models.

I take one back: Just the Mosquito.

Guys, this is pointless, there are a LOT of planes that *could* be added to this game. There were a lot of planes in the Second World War, and they all arguably deserve a place in the game. Give it a rest

Wow... I pride myself on my knowledge of military history and warplanes... but I've gotta say- I had never heard of it either... four 20mm cannon in the wing roots and four .50 cals!! That's a pretty hefty basic armament.

Why? We like talking about planes- you don't like it- read different forums.

The F7F Tigercat didn't play such a big role in the Pacific as is stated in the article I gave, but they are a cool plane to listen to. That's the good thing about living near Chino Airport. They've got like 3 F7F Tigercats, but two are only flying. The other is "static" or just for display.
