Ive fully upgraded the ME410 now and must say its an fine aricraft. Would love to have a tat more armor though.
How ever, to me its more of an anti aircraft slugger then an attack plane.
This because its lousy at strafe running because 1st all its guns are very centered and the 20mm pack very little HE.
FW190 is very much more effective at strafe running infantry since its ammunition pack bigger HE it seems.
So with this said having the ME410 blocking the Attacker roll in Normandy isnt moraly good so to speak. Sure you got 4 rockets but even those for some reason are hard to kill or hurt tanks with compared to the ones with the FW even if they are the same. I had the same issue with the BF110 so idk whats up with thatâŚcould be my aim perhaps but idk ive hit the softspot on Jumbos and nothing happened. Its more an hit or miss type of thing, more then with the FW
How ever please switch ME410 to become Fighter roll instead of which it also is. Wouldnt become to OP against the enemy team in my opinion since they also have their good toys in the air comp with each other
Iâm aware, itâs one of the best attackers in Normandy, however both of those aircraft have 4 of those rockets which is why I say it should stay as an attacker
True those rockets also devastates infantry. But if we compare the 30mm against the 20mm+7mm which are way more effective against planes then infantry compared to the other fighters thoughâŚ
If the 20mm the ME had packed better AP rounds which i suspect they do in a way then i would understand its Attacker roll. But these has the same pen characteristics on tanks that the other Fighter planes has
its a tricky take for sure and can understand you point of view with the rockets involved. But the FW190 also has those rockets and to me are more effective (could be my aim) and FW are much better at strafe running infantry with its guns so its why im lifting my eyebrows a little with the ME
Might be to early though for me since ive recently upgraded it to top so
Except that IL2 is lvl 7 against far more squishier planes and tanks then Normandy and ME410 is Top lvl 34. IL2s armor is also far more better. ME410 can take some hits but is stil vulnerable against small salvos
Except that ME410 is much better anti air but i agree. As an attacker the BF110 is way more better + it can also snipe planes with the 37mm asw as devestate them in CQC with the 30
Just repeated what i typed but its not as agile, engine power and lack combat flaps irrc but its bit close for sure.
Cant agree on the 20sâŚThe 20mm in ME420 Shredds planes and the 7 is surprisingly not that shabby eitherâŚSo does the 30 but that thing is hard to aim in and you have to aim high as you have to be up close. 37 how ever as said you can snipe with though
Wouldnt make much sense to make it a fighter. It has four tactical nukes, a bunch of ammo, and a performance below that of a fighter.
The FW and the ME use the same cannons, the difference is that the FW has 4 cannons and the ME has 2 cannons. That, and the FW has the cannons on its wings so the shots are more spread and thus cover a larger area, compared to the ME which has the cannons in front of the cockpit.
As for the rockets, its a similar thing to the cannons. To destroy a tank with a rocket you need a direct hit (or at least set the engine on fire), this becomes harder to do the farther away from the cockpit the rockets are placed. For the FW they are placed halfway through both wings, for the ME they are placed 1/3 from the tip of the wings. Also add that the wings of the ME are longer, so it would be harder to directly hit tanks.
This rocket setup is overall better, since the rockets are more spread out then you can cover a larger area. So if you want to destroy tanks with it you need to learn the spread pattern from certain distances. I always go on full dives and use my cannons to have a relative idea of where my plane is exactly aiming at, and then adjust the angle to either side and use stuff in the cockpit as a guide for the path of the rockets.
No need to try learn me what to do I know everything you just said and i would object on the thing youre saying that its an bad dog fighter because its most def are not. Ive killed enemy fighters along with everything US got with good pilots to in prolonged dog fights and must say this machine are rly good at it. Even killed tanks but with the FW its easier some how. Even the FW can miss a little and still hurt the tank while these not so much. But well Gr. are an weird rocket so hard to say but i had the same issue with BF110s and went for inf instead and let the 37mm talk on tanks
It works with strafing but not as good as it is at dog fighting
I mean, you clearly didnât know taking into account you were the one asking and making guesses on the post in the first place. The only thing you actually knew was the âvery centeredâ 20mm cannons.
I never said it was a bad dogfighter, just that it doesnât perform like a fighter plane. If you are shooting down enemy fighter planes specially in prolonged fights, then those pilots werenât good at all. Planes like the Bf 110 and the ME are objectively worse at dogfighting and only should win in certain situations, someone on a fighter that actually knows what he is doing will almost never get shot down by such attacker planes. Thankfully (and unfortunately, if in your team) most people are bad or subpar at dogfighting, otherwise shooting down enemy fighters with those planes would be rare for anyone regardless of skill.
The rockets on the ME can also miss by a bit and still moderately damage the tank, but the reason you believe otherwise is a combination of: what I said before, an optical illusion (at some extent), and most importantly the angle/area in which the near-miss happened.
Also, forgot to add that having Bf 110 and ME in the air at the same time would be broken. That makes it able to drop 4 tactical nukes every minute or so, Allies would basically not have a chance to attack/defend at all because they would just be getting destroyed.
Relying on AAA and planes to take both down also isnât really an option most times; either thereâs no engineer/plane squad or the player with said squad is bad at it.
