Bf110 Defensive Circle

Apparently the Defiants of 264 Sqn used the defensive circle successfully but they had a turret!

Just how successful ? Successful in daylight for a Defiant squadron might just mean someone survived

The much maligned Defiant on the other hand was much under-rated as a night fighter. It was very effective in the night fighter role.

While playing the dynamic "Zerstörer" campaign that comes with the game, if you radio your base for support (Tab -> 8 -> 1) your Schwarm of Bf110G2 will form into a defensive circle. You have to be on autopilot for it to work, though.

As Sim-123 along with a guy called Oktoberfest we used to fly the 110 only on line and we became quite good at attacking enemy aircraft and of course the circular defence became the natural defensive manouver !
