Default If Britain started the bombing of citys

then someone should tell that to the poor residents of Warsaw.

The only way the Germans were going to win the Battle of Britain is if the Brits quit.
The British defended with one hand behind their backs and still won quite easily.
Is almost like the Germans had not designed their airforce to attack a well defended country, but the British had designed theirs to stop attacks on their country.

The BOB played into the strengths of the RAF. And fully away from the strengths of the LW.

As to the 110, in a war of attrition, it was more expensive then the germans could afford in both resources and people. By making the germans think that 109s would not need the range to escort the bombers, and diverting scarce resources from an actual war wining plane that they had, the 110 was a tragic german mistake.

But even without it, and with that many more 109s, the result would have been the same. The whole strat bombing concept that you can force a country to submit if it is ready to resist you is flawed, and has been proven flawed. But the allies could afford to have a flawed concept and still win the war. The germans could not afford flawed concepts like the 110. Their chance to win the war was so small that such a critical diversion during their formative pre war build up was very significant.
