Description
The Me 410 B-1 is a Rank III German twin-engine fighter
with a battle rating of 4.0 (AB/SB) and 3.7 (RB). It was in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.
General info

Survivability and armour
- 8 mm steel - front of cockpit (either side of the glass)
- 5 mm steel - wings leading edge (in front of fuel tanks)
- 8 mm steel - prop hub and gear bay
- 9 mm steel - top and bottoms of wings (around the liquid cooling system
- 8 mm steel - plates in the tail
- 8 mm steel - bulkhead aft of gunner
- 8 mm steel - between gunner and pilot
- 12 mm steel - pilot's headrest
- 60 mm bulletproof glass - in front of the pilot (inside aircraft)
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Me 410 B-1 is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, cheek-mounted (350 rpg = 700 total)
- 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, fuselage-mounted (600 rpg = 1,200 total)
Suspended armament
The options available for the Me 410 B-1 are:
- Without load
- 8 x 50 kg SC50JA bombs
- 2 x 250 kg SC250JA bombs
- 2 x 500 kg SC500K bombs
Defensive armament
The Me 410 B-1 is armed with:
- 1 x 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, 2 x beam turret (500 rpg = 1,000 total)
Usage in battles
This aircraft, like its predecessors, benefits from a large supply of ammo. When performing ground attacks against soft targets, firing the machine guns separately enables a better conservation of the more relevant cannon ammo. It is recommended to use stealth ammo for the machine guns and another belt for the cannons that include tracers, as this enables the pilot to easier gauge the 20mm's trajectory.

| III | Wings Repair | Engine | Offensive 20 mm | ||
| IV | Engine Injection | Cover | New 20 mm cannons | ||
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Well armed, mounting 13 mm and 20 mm cannons.
- Good amount of ammunition for both weapons.
- Quite durable, well armoured.
- Great straight-line top speed for a heavy fighter.
- Sustains high speeds in dives.
- Air brakes (useful for dive recovery, dog-fighting and landing).
- Good forward visibility.
- Stable flyer.
- Machine guns allow less wasteful ground attack.
Cons:
- Not very maneuverable (although quite reasonable amongst heavy fighters).
- Poor energy retention.
- Less firepower than the (Me 410 A-1/U2).
- Different forward-firing guns means two trajectories to know.
- Large target.
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
