I was flying 110's last night on ATAG and killed couple of spits.

I did discover that I could out accelerate a spit in a dive with low fuel tanks. I think fuel weight is a big factor in this plane. I would want to engage a fighter with as little fuel as possible. And as the other guys have said only attack with the E advantage, one or two passes and then run! I was not sure if I could escape but I easily out ran the spits in a dive with empty tanks.

You got so much fire power and ammo and no convergence so you can go for difficult long range snap shots with a chance of hitting em.

Very challenging plane really

Just subscribing for now. I definitely want to be involved in this thread.

Not much time as I am about to shut the computer off for the night but I want to put this little nugget out there. Starting sometime in the near future my squad will be allowing me access to a training server where I can help pilots learn to love and fight with the 110 in online combat. I also hope to come away with a couple new wingmen as well.

See y'all in the skies.

thx for all the replies...i already now that one should avoid dogfights and tight turns with the 110 against the british fighters.i usually avoid it even when in a 109, and would never try with a 110.
as someone said that in reality the 110's speed was between the hurri and the spit, in game its certainly behind both and can be easily outrunned by them....so i think its almost impossible to survive as soon as your oponent is aware of your presence.
-if you try to run, they will gain vicinity on you, sooner or later
-if you turn, they will reach you even more quickly


while i am pretty successful with the 109 online, i dont consider myself ready for the that challenge with the 110 yet, because i dont know all the procedures to handle this aircraft correctly yet.
i dont know which systems are controlled automatically and which have to be influenced by the pilot.for example i dont even know if you have to manipulate the mixture by oneself or if its adjusted automatically.
i still have to find out how the fuel tanks are working.
yesterday i pushed the one-axis-autopilot button and ended in the channel.
i also find that that the engine(although its supposed to be the same as the 109's?) seems to overheat pretty quickly.the healthy ata pressure levels are at about 1,2 ata, which seems pretty low.does it have WEP?


i would really like to master this plane, as it seems to be a big challenge for me.and therefore a kill and making it back home would be really statisfying.


...so keep the advices coming guys!!!

Actually, I'd be more then up to it myself, having a bit of fun with the 110 and exchanging ideas can't hurt. Maybe I can even learn another trick or two, so sign me up!

Time to show those 109fires what real men are made of, heh heh heh.

Actually, if you manage the 110 correctly you can squeeze quite a bit of speed out of her. Enough to keep Spits and Hurricanes at bay as long as they don't enter the fight with a large energy advantage to begin with.

The secret here is perfect trimming, and I mean "perfect" trimming in all axis. If you then also use air and oil radiator at 50 percent max you can keep and hold her at around 440, which is enough to demotivate most pilots in holding up their chase and requires perfect aircraft set-up of them as well. In my expirience only few Pilots take it to the extreme and given enough distance it provides enough time to get back to France and with a bit of luck assistance by others.

Unlike your expirience I also consider the 110 a very forgiving aircraft in regards to throttle and pitch settings, certainly more forgiving then a 109.
