yes, it was faster than the hurricane, but not as maneuverable, 1v1 the hurricane has an advantage. The ME-410 would have been better against hurricanes and early spitfires, but it entered after the BOB, and then, it still couldn't handle a P-47, so to put these aircraft 1 on 1 against single engined fighters was a mistake. They did have success in other roles though.
Main difference between the Lightening/ Bf110 - the Allies used the P-38's strengths, the Luftwaffe didn't with the 110, not at first. 110's escorting Luftwaffe bombers during BoB were crushed by RAF Hurricanes and Spits.
My dad flew B-17's in the 385thBG. They hated the 110's & the slash/go attacks used against 8th AF Bombers later in WWII. Fast when diving from above & heavily armed, 110's were deadly foes deployed in this fashion.
Neither the P38 or Bf110 was much of a dogfighter.
@GeddyBre Looking at their designes,, no, they wern't much of a dogfiighter. That isn't the case though. Plenty of 110's shot down P-38's and Spifires. P-38's shot down their share of 109's and Stukas. The German's nicknamed it "the twin engine devil". There is also a ton of footage of BF100's shooting down single engine fighters. They where hell on American and British medium/heavy bombers the most according to footage I've seen and there squadron staions.
@GeddyBre My Father served over two Tours in Vietnam. He was in country for longer. Both my grandaparents fought in WW2. One was a paratroper and jumped at Normady, the other was German and flew in the Jagdgeschwader 26 in the western front of the the European Theather. They were all very young when they went into combat. So they neve talked a whole lot about their experiances in the wars. Except my German Granpapa. He loved talking about flying fighters, he was and is still proud he flew
@christopherb27 He's still alive and to this day he's never told me about shooting anything, just the planes he flew. He has no regrets,if Bombers where flying over to bomb my country I'd want to shoot them down. Especailly the British, who bombed cities and civilians at night. America took the burden of flying in daylight to bomb targets that would disable the German war machie, and where sucsesfull. Taking heavy losses in a very short amount of time. God bless the young men on all sides.
None of the twin engined heavy fighters were really well suited to air combat against single engine fighters. The Bf-110 eventually did find its niche as a night fighter, and nobody can argue that the Bf-110G-4 was not the most successful night fighter in history, shooting down more aircraft at night than any other night fighter, and also flown by history's top night ace, Schnaufer.
@SneakinSniper Sure the Ta 152 was a later design, but I still believe the concept was wiser. Adolf Galland himself tried to push for industry to focus on the Fw 190 and Ta 152. The idea of a twin engined propeller driven fighter never panned out, and those which were build were better suited as ground-attack aircraft, like the British Mosquito. Today, the A-10 Warthog is a distant relative of the twin engined ground attack fighter.
@notaire2 The 110 actually had a tight turning arc for an airplane of its size. It was also substantially faster than the Hurricane. However it suffered from excessive control forces at high speed, a slow rate of roll, and was overweight.
@notaire2 Pre-War planning showed the Luftwaffe that they needed a long range strike aircraft that could intercept bogeys deep in enemy territory and escort bombers like the He-111. Against countries using 30s era biplanes it was perfect. However a really modern Air Force like the RAF well...
The Mosquito and P-38 were successful but were also newer designs. Hope this is interesting.
Thank you for your additional information. It is quite interesting. I really appreciate your technological and historical knowledge as well as your objective attitude toward WW2.
@docwillems This has nothing to do with the BF110, but If you were Polish, you could petition the Nazis to remain in the re-conquered provinces. The Poles in turn deported ethnic Poles from East Prussia who happened to be Lutheran. History has sadly ignored the fact that every square inch of modern Poland was first settled by Germans several centuries before the first Pole walked out of the Pripet Marshes. Interestingly some Polish leaders wanted their border to stop at the Elbe ...before WW2!
@SneakinSniper The better bomber destroyer the Germans possessed was the Focke-Wulf Ta-152 (Ta for Kurt Tank). It was equipped with 3 autokanone and could fly 440 mph at 40,000ft. It reminds me of the H1 racer.
@SneakinSniper Thats why it was called "Old Iron Sides" it was versatile and could carry out tactical bombardment on the ground while being able to defend itself better than the StuKa. They changed its role many times.
@MusikAndLuv - Goering loved the plane, but had to withdraw it during the Battle of Britain. However, since German industry was geared up for it, it got pressed into a variety of roles (some of which it was pretty good at). A victim of inter-war theories that did not pan out (like the Defiant, the Potez and the Devastator), it served on pretty much until the end of the war and reclaimed a measure of respect in those roles. However, the Luftwaffe's true "Jack of all trades" was the Ju-88.
@vv55sst I agree, the old fighter aces were thinking along the wrong lines. The whole idea of a heavy fighter is unwise. The Ju 88 is one of my personal favoites as the "Die Magd aller Arbeiten" as we say in German "the maid of all work". I also love the He 111, even after all of these years, the Spanish versions are still a gem to fly. I flew one at an Air show in New York a long time ago. They were so well-built I felt safer in it than I did flying a newer cesna.
- Maneuverability; it couldn't turn fight. So sure if a Spit I got in front of one it would be toast, but most pilots could easily evade the ME-110, and engage at will.
- Inferior rate of climb
Mid and late war it proved an effective against bombers, especially when used as a night-fighter. Also was a decent fighter bomber.
in history channel i heard one american p-51D Ace fighter sayting how fun was it, meaning clsoe air support, he said that sometimes he'd forget that the plane he aws shooting down had a human being inside it, as well as locomotives, bunkers, and lots of booming stuff, he realized after cming back and having less friends each day =/
Later in 1942 the Soviets replaced the I-16 fighters with Yank -supplied Lend-lease Bell P-39 Aircobras. One of the finest actions of any unit of Aircobras was in the same year over nearby Tuapse when they tore into a formation of Ju-88's
yes thats true it was faster the last layout with 2 1650 hp engines, but it used 5 min to make a turn listen dude it was so slow the 110 it needed escort from the 109, the escort needed escort lol
only when it came up against the more modern monoplane designs such as in battle of britain.
Otherwise the 110 could fulfill it's function of taking on older monoplane designs like the 1-16's, or bi-plane fighters that were still in broad use when the 110 first came out.
whats the point with an foghter bomber if it doesnt figth? hit 1 engine and the pilot had to bail out anyway, hopless plane, reminds me of an early russian or italian plane, "hopeless"
The Bf-110 was well capable of flying with a single engine. It wasn't the most agile fighter in the war, but was still a very succesful plane in night fighting and ground attack sorties.
@jellyrollbaker Really?? I would take the ME-262 or the P-38 over the 110 just for looks. But who cares everyone's entitled to their favorite I guess.
DROOOOOOLLL!!! would be überalles strafe govermentmoronhouse with it XD While live on TV would be coming from tv "what tha fek? whats wastin these 20mm rounds in from roof" ROFL!
most of the pilots who flew the 110s did not not survive the war. The spitfires , p-38s 48s 51 s typhoons made short work of them as well as the Ju -87 they were called the flying coffins by German pilots. The Yaks and Migoyans also tore them new assholes.
Pinches gringos estúpidos tienen que leer un poco más de historia y no creer todo lo que dice su estúpido gobierno. Los mejores pilotos de la WW2 fueron alemanes solo que los aliados eran más numerosos y por eso ganaron. Ustedes no tienen ningún as que llegue a las 50 victorias, vean a los alemanes cuantos ases derribaron más de 100 enemigos. Pinches gringos ignorantes y perversos. Nadie ganó esa guerra el mundo quedó peor con la URSS y los gringos al mando...
in the first months of WWII luftwaffe wins because englands and french wasn't be good aeroplanes, after 1940 from the final of the war luftwaffe was a total disaster on air, lancaster and b17 bombardiers are destroyed germany, and soviet new combat planes destroyed the stukas and HE of lutfwaffe..Goering was a total stupid general..than the wehrmacht was better in tanks and tactic combats, the allieds was very superior in air and costs the war machine..
it didnt suck boggypete moron ,, with the correct tactics this bird coud kill single engine fighters ,it suffered when it was usedin close slow scort of bombers
@boggypete17 Oh, really? It was as fast or faster and could handle the Hurricane. By the way, which double engined aircraft in the Battle of Britain was match for a single fighter, such as the Spitfire?
Hi imacf90 dummy, u don't even know how to spell the name of the Great Apostle of Peace of the last century, the Modern Buddha, the Great Mahathma Gandhi. Yes we do worship him, not only the 1.2 billion Indians, but many more millions across the globe, who rever his approaches of 'Ahimsa'& 'Nonviolence', adore and worship him dearly. But immature, stinking shitpots like you will never, ever, understand.
you said, and i quote!"But immature, stinking shitpots like you will never, ever, understand." thats my reasoning :) please read before you reply asking dumb questions
Gandhi and Hitler are both admired in India today. Both were highly intelligent men who wanted to free their people from foreign domination. The victors always write the history books remember with plenty of juicy lies eg jews being made into soap or lampshades to fool the masses . This is carried on today by Hollywood and Spielberg . The latter being an expert in modern day propaganda films.
Yet, the vast majority of nazi supporters in europe see south asians with disdain and the darker a mans skin tone the greater the disdain. And one just needs to read mein kampf to see the injustice in Hitlers beliefs. The germans had no right to the lands of the slavs, yet it was their goal to conquer it on the basis that they considered themselves stronger.
Peterbishop, I dont know who you are and i dont care, but ive been in concentration camps, and trust me, it aint pretty, lining up children against a wall and shooting and raping them is evil. You can call Hitler whatever you want, but all of the good things he has done is nothing compared to the evil shit the nazis pulled off, you dont free your people by murdering other people, 11 million russians died, 6 million jews and millions of german and allied soldiers, my god you are full of shit!!
The Russians used burning german aircraft at Stalingrad to warm their hands and the swastikas to wipe their asses. FACT! The Germans apparently did not make such great slaves as only 10,000 of the 300,000 captured made it back to Germany alive. Sort of ALIVE that is ! Ask some krauts if that happened man?
The main role of the Bf 110 was not as a heavy fighter. Go read up on it. It was seen as multi-role from the outset. However that only came to fruition with the 'D' variant. The 'C' variant was used in a photo-recce role with the 'C-5', and was equipped with a single 30 mm. cannon for ground attack purposes with the 'C-6', as well as the normal fighter mode with the 'C-1', 'C-2' and 'C-4'.
And if you think I don't know what I'm talking about, just type my name in on Amazon...
Achtung! Achtung! Spitfire Spitfire, AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHH Mein Gott in Himmel, Alles Kaput. Ach Mutter Mutter, aeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. (Silence) and now resting peacefully in a burning mass of crumpled aluminum in a field, somewhere in Kent.
BerlinBunker1(clever name!) BEING an ASSHOLE EH!Perhaps the fields of Kent was improved! A BIT LIKE THE CRUMPLED ALUMINUM with British roundels littered across Europe and Africa.
The Me-110 was a good aircraft in type, but it was already obsolete before WW2 started. It lacked speed and agility, and was no match for the Spitfire and Hurricane, and many, with their crews ended as burning wreckage on the green fields of England.
BerlinBunker1? True - It was design for then long range - which single engine, single seaters didn't have. (Except the Zero)The 110 used properly was a good aircraft. Fighter bomber, Nightfighter. The Mosquito was a later design and a class of its own. The P38 was likewise - but not much of a night fighter.
They are handsome but much too slow and clumsy to tangle with single engine fighters. In this vid, they seemed to have difficulty hitting their aerial targets, even big planes.
p-38 was the best heavy fighter. Mosquito was the best mass produced night fighter (a bomber really), only second to the "UHU", but,...110 is my favourite!
Komepollass - P38 not the best heavy fighter. Mosquito was better all rounder. The He219, Ju88 was a better night fighter etc. so its depends on what the P38 was used for. Against Zeros etc. it was a killer. Against Fw190,109 it was average.
p38 was a fighter, mosquito was a bomber converted to night fighter, same for the other german types you mentioned. P38 had excellent climb, concentrated heavy firepower, heavy payload and long range, it was fast as well. Not as agile as single engined fighters obviously, but certainly more agile than mosquito, ju88, bf110 and he219,...and it was a thirties design!
Yeah- I know that. P38 was good but not as good as other single seaters like the FW190, Me109 later models and as I said it can't do what the Mosquito, JU88 can. Thirties design -so are alot of the others. P38 was good but no world beater. It depends on what it does and what its against. End of story!
Not the end of the story yet. It obviously could not be a bomber or torpedo-bomber, that was very difficult as it was a completely different design (hm, maybe not, as P47s could carry nearly as much ordnance as german medium bombers). Regarding that it was never converted into a nightfighter (with radar), that happened because the americans never had an urgent need for one, but it would have been a candidate as had enough space in the nose (dropsnoot and recce variants) and...1/2
Yes it is end of story! The Yanks tried it as a nightfighter it wasn't up to the job. Why I comment - because I wanted to point out the 110 had its good points and it did a good job when properly used. This P38 or that better is all so tiring. END OF STORY.
I agree with you 110 was a very good aircraft, possibly one of the best nightfighters and a good attack aircraft as well, but,...USELESS as a heavy fighter (its main intended role). Period. p38 was far better anyway.
...possibly the cockpit could be lengthened to fit a second crew. The main reason why the P38 did not become the best or most used american fighter was cost-related. It was a complicate aircraft, expensive to produce and operate, difficult to fly and "unreliable" in fild conditions. It was not a workhorse as the P47 or P40 or P39. It was a delicate, high performance aircraft. 2/2
Fair enough. True. The 110 was older design idea that soldier on. Used properly it was good but outclassed like most heavy fighters by the small lighter single seaters.
a very interesting video to me. my father was a pilot and flew a me110 1944. (he was just 19 then). he was shut down in france and was then a pow. he was transported to biloxi, mississippi (did i wrote that correct?) after he came back he met my mother in 1959 because she liked that he could speak english so good. well! then they decided to produce "ME"! after all at least one good story fm ww2! .....and interesting to me to see "his" plane!

I have recently studied a document from early 1944. In it the Gauleiter

from the regained 2 Provinces into the GG-Poland. In 4 years he replaced
600.000 Poles by German re-settlers from the Ukraine and USSR.
So the Nazis manages to deport 600.000 Poles in 4 years, but the Poles
managed to deport/murder 9,6 Million Germans from 1945-49, in 4 years

most of the pilots who flew the 110s did not not survive the war. The spitfires , p-38s 48s 51 s typhoons made short work of them as well as the Ju -87 they were called the flying coffins by German pilots. The Yaks and Migoyans also tore them new assholes.

BF110s is/was an amazing aircraft and first I ever read about, with heavy weaponry as well as bombing capabaility.

Pinches gringos estúpidos tienen que leer un poco más de historia y no creer todo lo que dice su estúpido gobierno. Los mejores pilotos de la WW2 fueron alemanes solo que los aliados eran más numerosos y por eso ganaron. Ustedes no tienen ningún as que llegue a las 50 victorias, vean a los alemanes cuantos ases derribaron más de 100 enemigos. Pinches gringos ignorantes y perversos. Nadie ganó esa guerra el mundo quedó peor con la URSS y los gringos al mando...

They called them that way because of the noise of their machineguns and their tactics in the Spanish Civil War.

in the first months of WWII luftwaffe wins because englands and french wasn't be good aeroplanes, after 1940 from the final of the war luftwaffe was a total disaster on air, lancaster and b17 bombardiers are destroyed germany, and soviet new combat planes destroyed the stukas and HE of lutfwaffe..Goering was a total stupid general..than the wehrmacht was better in tanks and tactic combats, the allieds was very superior in air and costs the war machine..

@boggypete17 Oh, really? It was as fast or faster and could handle the Hurricane. By the way, which double engined aircraft in the Battle of Britain was match for a single fighter, such as the Spitfire?

Hi imacf90 dummy, u don't even know how to spell the name of the Great Apostle of Peace of the last century, the Modern Buddha, the Great Mahathma Gandhi. Yes we do worship him, not only the 1.2 billion Indians, but many more millions across the globe, who rever his approaches of 'Ahimsa'& 'Nonviolence', adore and worship him dearly. But immature, stinking shitpots like you will never, ever, understand.

Gandhi and Hitler are both admired in India today. Both were highly intelligent men who wanted to free their people from foreign domination. The victors always write the history books remember with plenty of juicy lies eg jews being made into soap or lampshades to fool the masses . This is carried on today by Hollywood and Spielberg . The latter being an expert in modern day propaganda films.

Yet, the vast majority of nazi supporters in europe see south asians with disdain and the darker a mans skin tone the greater the disdain. And one just needs to read mein kampf to see the injustice in Hitlers beliefs. The germans had no right to the lands of the slavs, yet it was their goal to conquer it on the basis that they considered themselves stronger.
BVargas78 2 years ago
Disgraceful comment. You should go to Auschwitz or Belsen Peter, see with your own eyes.
Also, and a much, much lesser point; to group Gandhi and Hitler together is a crime.
I do hope you're drunk and making a jest.
Jeez, I just came to look at a fighter destroyer from the Battle of Britain.
You're a disgrace sir.

Peterbishop, I dont know who you are and i dont care, but ive been in concentration camps, and trust me, it aint pretty, lining up children against a wall and shooting and raping them is evil. You can call Hitler whatever you want, but all of the good things he has done is nothing compared to the evil shit the nazis pulled off, you dont free your people by murdering other people, 11 million russians died, 6 million jews and millions of german and allied soldiers, my god you are full of shit!!

The Russians used burning german aircraft at Stalingrad to warm their hands and the swastikas to wipe their asses. FACT! The Germans apparently did not make such great slaves as only 10,000 of the 300,000 captured made it back to Germany alive. Sort of ALIVE that is ! Ask some krauts if that happened man?

komepollass,
The main role of the Bf 110 was not as a heavy fighter. Go read up on it. It was seen as multi-role from the outset. However that only came to fruition with the 'D' variant. The 'C' variant was used in a photo-recce role with the 'C-5', and was equipped with a single 30 mm. cannon for ground attack purposes with the 'C-6', as well as the normal fighter mode with the 'C-1', 'C-2' and 'C-4'.
And if you think I don't know what I'm talking about, just type my name in on Amazon...

The Me-110 was a good aircraft in type, but it was already obsolete before WW2 started. It lacked speed and agility, and was no match for the Spitfire and Hurricane, and many, with their crews ended as burning wreckage on the green fields of England.
BerlinBunker1 3 years ago
BerlinBunker1? True - It was design for then long range - which single engine, single seaters didn't have. (Except the Zero)The 110 used properly was a good aircraft. Fighter bomber, Nightfighter. The Mosquito was a later design and a class of its own. The P38 was likewise - but not much of a night fighter.
marvanme 3 years ago
To BerlinBunker1 - Added Its speed was quite good - slightly faster or on par with the hurricane - depending on mark.

They are handsome but much too slow and clumsy to tangle with single engine fighters. In this vid, they seemed to have difficulty hitting their aerial targets, even big planes.

Trent is right. A really great looking plane, but not a good fighter in the day time. Made for a better night fighter against slow bombers.

p-38 was the best heavy fighter. Mosquito was the best mass produced night fighter (a bomber really), only second to the "UHU", but,...110 is my favourite!
komepollass 4 years ago
Komepollass - P38 not the best heavy fighter. Mosquito was better all rounder. The He219, Ju88 was a better night fighter etc. so its depends on what the P38 was used for. Against Zeros etc. it was a killer. Against Fw190,109 it was average.
marvanme 3 years ago
p38 was a fighter, mosquito was a bomber converted to night fighter, same for the other german types you mentioned. P38 had excellent climb, concentrated heavy firepower, heavy payload and long range, it was fast as well. Not as agile as single engined fighters obviously, but certainly more agile than mosquito, ju88, bf110 and he219,...and it was a thirties design!
komepollass 3 years ago
Yeah- I know that. P38 was good but not as good as other single seaters like the FW190, Me109 later models and as I said it can't do what the Mosquito, JU88 can. Thirties design -so are alot of the others. P38 was good but no world beater. It depends on what it does and what its against. End of story!
marvanme 3 years ago
Not the end of the story yet. It obviously could not be a bomber or torpedo-bomber, that was very difficult as it was a completely different design (hm, maybe not, as P47s could carry nearly as much ordnance as german medium bombers). Regarding that it was never converted into a nightfighter (with radar), that happened because the americans never had an urgent need for one, but it would have been a candidate as had enough space in the nose (dropsnoot and recce variants) and...1/2
komepollass 3 years ago
Yes it is end of story! The Yanks tried it as a nightfighter it wasn't up to the job. Why I comment - because I wanted to point out the 110 had its good points and it did a good job when properly used. This P38 or that better is all so tiring. END OF STORY.
marvanme 3 years ago
I agree with you 110 was a very good aircraft, possibly one of the best nightfighters and a good attack aircraft as well, but,...USELESS as a heavy fighter (its main intended role). Period. p38 was far better anyway.
komepollass 3 years ago
...possibly the cockpit could be lengthened to fit a second crew. The main reason why the P38 did not become the best or most used american fighter was cost-related. It was a complicate aircraft, expensive to produce and operate, difficult to fly and "unreliable" in fild conditions. It was not a workhorse as the P47 or P40 or P39. It was a delicate, high performance aircraft. 2/2
komepollass 3 years ago
Fair enough. True. The 110 was older design idea that soldier on. Used properly it was good but outclassed like most heavy fighters by the small lighter single seaters.

a very interesting video to me. my father was a pilot and flew a me110 1944. (he was just 19 then). he was shut down in france and was then a pow. he was transported to biloxi, mississippi (did i wrote that correct?) after he came back he met my mother in 1959 because she liked that he could speak english so good. well! then they decided to produce "ME"! after all at least one good story fm ww2! .....and interesting to me to see "his" plane!
