The Me. 410 Hornet was a German heavy fighter/Schnellbomber used during WW2. It was a modified version of the Me. 210 but fixed many of its predacessors flaws. The model here is armed with two forward firing 20mm cannons, a 50mm gun in the nose (derived from the Pk39; the Panzer 3's main gun) and two rear facing 13mm defensive guns in remote control turrets. AG-1 plus Air-to-Ground rockets to fire the 50mm, AG-2 + Trim to rotate/fire defensive turrets. VTOL for flaps. As always, let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements or works youd like to see done. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

Nothing like a giant cannon to turn tanks into mince meat
@Sgtk no problemo 🙂
@Sgtk No problem! The '210 and '410 are two of my favorite heavy fighters, and it's cool to see one with a working heavy cannon in the nose.
@Sgtk no problemo

Thank you!!
@Sgtk that's what I do in WT but i get mad when it sparks
@ThePrototype the nose had a bombay compartment outfitted with the cannon for ground attack, but could carry ordinance or additional gun pods. Not sure if they used the 50 to hunt planes like you can in WT. And thank you fir the upvote!! Also, thanks @DynamicNeedle!!
Did the Germans ever use the me 410 as a bomber hunter since some models had a 50mm or was it only one
For tank busting?@Sgtk

Thank you!!
@BogdanX Thank you. I think I missed a collision on the tail, but I overlooked it in final tests. I also appreciate your input on the agility factors. Ive not delved into that yet, but Im excites to try it out. And swivel tails are an easy fix.
No probs!
