Jason_Williams Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Quote 325 Dear Pilots, Today’s Developer Diary is a video that shows the Me 410 in action! We’re very proud of this aircraft because it is the most detailed and comprehensive modeling of a 410 ever in a combat flight simulator. It took several team members to complete it and lots of testing from the Beta testers to get it to its final form, but here is a sneak peak of the upcoming ‘Hornisse’ in action. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked to ready the 410 for release. Full Text and Visuals HERE. Jason 11 5 3
tattywelshie Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Oh wow, she is an absolute BEAUTY! When will she be unleashed on us? You guys have done an amazing job!
7bhp_Mk Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 This looks incredible. Amazing work, as always. I expect no less from the best devs in the business, these days. Thanks for continuing to improve this fantastic sim! 2
percydanvers Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 That looks every bit as fun as I have dreamed it would be. Can anyone tell me if the 50mm cannon is any good for killing tanks? I've come to really enjoy doing that with the mollins gun mosquitoes.
Patricks Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) What the heck is that cannon sticking out in front, 50mm? Edited July 29, 2022 by Patricks

migmadmarine Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Historically no 50mm AP ammo was issued to Luftwaffe squadrons 1 1

The 50mm never used AP, so I don't think will be able to destroy tanks 1 1

=EXPEND=CG_Justin Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Oh my freakin goodness!! BADASS!! I can't wait!!!!!
Avimimus Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Ah, so this means that the patch is probably two weeks away. The 410 definitely is a real accomplishment. The team should be very proud of what it has done with BoN's aircraft in general. But as for the important news: I'm really glad they now have a video maker. I think videos have done very well for other companies, and it is exciting to see it being added as part of the approach to promotion. Hopefully the use base will grow and it'll enable additional products over the next few years to the point that the only things left to model are things we've never seen before... (Fw-189? Italian front WWI?)... we can dream. There you go Javier - all our hopes and dreams rest upon you... ? 16 minutes ago, moustache said: logically, it should be enough to kill tanks, especially thanks to the angle of attack... Assuming it has any AP rounds. If they take the historical approach they took to the Mosquito - then it is quite possible that the BK-5 will come equipped only with HE rounds! That said, the 2xMk-103 variant (assuming it is still planned) will give quite a bit of penetration a certain angles. 3 1

Weren't those the guns in the Hs 129?
pilotpierre Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I’m a lookin a forward to this beauty. Vunce again mein devs und Herr Jason vell done und donkey shane for you continuing developments.
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Looks like a very useful aircraft, love that gunsight position, can really get some deflection shots with it...
[RBRI]Khaela Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I really can't wait to fly this. The 410 and the C47 are my most anticipated planes from the last line ups.... so I'm all giddy :3 1

354thFG_Panda_ Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 410 looks great, a fine addition to my collection
=FI=Blue2 Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Astounding results as usual! Very nice job on the video by 'new guy' Javier - welcome aboard sir! Super excited about this bird and the Normandy map. 1 1
Aurora_Stealth Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Hehaa! what an accomplishment!! absolutely fantastic work from the team to pull this one off It looks terrific fun to fly, especially with all those gadgets and gunsights ? ... cannot bottle up the excitement for this to arrive! And great work with the video Javier! 1 1
JG4_Widukind Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Good! We are ready for testing the Me410. And still hope for a Big Bug fixing patch (Fw190 A6 Bomb Selection, Bombs blast and destroy radius for example)

[VCB]Telf_UK Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Stellar work. Extremely excited to taxi up and push the throttles forward in the 410! Such a mean looking aircraft. Keep up the good work team?
senseispcc Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Nice plane but not my cup of tea! To late, to little! But the near completion of this one means that we all are a step nearer to the date, or day of D-day the launching of the game, thanks for the team gigantic efforts. Thanks and salutes. 1

Yes, and I believe they have a standard belting that includes AP by default. That said, I know the Hs-129 sometimes got special ammunition (didn't the 15mm sometimes have tungsten cored rounds in its belting?) Edited July 29, 2022 by Avimimus 1
354thFG_Panda_ Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Watching the video again, the aircraft sounds quite nice ?
Zeev Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Great video and the plane looks like a lot of fun to fly. Is it the first plane that had bombing sight assist? looks cool

In game it will be destroying tanks with ease. 2

352ndOscar Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Looks GREAT! P.S. Could you maybe throw in some German Infantry too? That’d be great. Thanks!
Marcio Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Stuvi aiming system finally!!! I'm looking forward to flying the Me 410!!! Good work and good luck in finishing this aircraft, thank you to the whole team!!!
EAF19_Marsh Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 IIRC, total Mustang fodder. But lovely work as always.
