Armaments
Offensive armament
The Bf 110 C-6 is armed with:

Usage in battles
The Bf-110 C-6 is best suited at ground attack and bomber interception roles. The 30 mm chin-mounted cannon can load both HVAP and HE rounds giving it flexibility in both Air RB and Ground RB. The Bf 110 C-6 can intercept bombers, destroy tanks and pillboxes with its 30 mm cannon but struggles in dogfights with fighters unless it had the altitude/energy advantage. The lack of 20 mm cannons leaves the C-6 nothing to fall back on except four machine guns. The C-6 is a great ground attacker in ground battles as the 30 mm cannon can penetrate most tanks at its rank.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- 30 mm chin-mounted cannon with HVAP or HE shells and 60 rounds
- 30 mm HVAP is a very capable tank killer
- Very maneuverable compared to other German attackers at the rank
- Flight performance are barely affected when compared to the 110 C-7
- Four 7.92 machine guns with 1,000 RPG
- Sturdy airframe and high survivability
- Armoured around the pilot and gunner
Cons:
- Lacks 20 mm cannons found on other Bf-110s
- Cannot carry bombs or rockets
- Slow acceleration and poor energy retention
- Large target
- Single 7.92 mm MG 15 dorsal turret with a limited cone of fire
- Large elevator is a large but somewhat durable target when cannons aren't involved
- Lacks armoured glass windscreen, increasing chances of pilot being injured from head-ons
