The {{PAGENAME}} is a textbook example of what classifies a twin-engined fighter. Positive capabilities of this aircraft include an outstanding turn time, menacing offensive armament, amazing acceleration and all-out straight-line speed. This aircraft is incredibly versatile due to the variety of offensive weapons which can be selected. Depending on the weapon loadout chosen, this twin-engine fighter can take on the roles of attacker, bomber and even bomber interceptor. Though the Bf 110 can take on fighters when the opportunity comes up or is necessary, caution must be taken as any single-engine fighter will likely out-turn the Bf 110 and manoeuvre into an attack position, effectively reversing roles.

When compared to its predecessors, the [[Bf 110 F-2|F2]] and the [[Bf 110 C-7|C7]], the G-2 is a noticeable upgrade in regards to both armament and flight performance. With the addition of the more powerful DB-605B engines, the G-2 has more power and responsive performance than the earlier versions. The G-2's default configuration consists of two MG151/20 cannons (same used on the [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109]]s) and two 30 mm MK108 cannons (same used on the [[Me 262 (Family)|Me 262]]s) which are a lethal combination and when compared to contemporaries such as the [[Beaufighter (Family)|Beaufighter]] family of twin-engined aircraft, the G-2 clearly packs a more powerful punch.

This makes for a lethal combination and when compared to contemporaries such as the [[Beaufighter (Family)|Beaufighter]] family of twin-engined aircraft, the G-2 clearly packs a more powerful punch.

The {{PAGENAME}} is considerably more manoeuvrable than contemporary twin-engine aircraft and if needed can outrun most, however, once the aircraft is outfitted with other than the default offensive armament and ordinance, its manoeuvrability becomes less effective and becomes an easier target for enemy aircraft.

The {{PAGENAME}} can effectively take on different roles, depending on the map played or the targets intended. Knowing the manoeuvrability challenges faced with selecting the various armament load-outs will help the G-2 pilot ensure to avoid areas of the map where they will be at a major disadvantage and ensure effective use of the ordinance on board.

Of the four cannons, the 20 mm cannons are mounted in the belly of the fuselage right under the pilot's seat while the two 30 mm cannons are mounted in the upper fuselage in front of the pilot. Each cannon is armed with a different amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will run out of ammunition at different times with the 30 mm cannons running empty first.

Description

GarageImage Bf 110 G-2.jpg


The Bf 110 G-2 is a rank III German twin-engine fighter with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X".

General info

Flight performance

Cockpit features great side & forward visibility despite the struts. Although the tail section is obscured by the armoured headrest, the gunner can function as an early warning indicator.

The Bf 110 G-2 is a textbook example of what classifies a twin-engined fighter. Positive capabilities of this aircraft include an outstanding turn time, menacing offensive armament, amazing acceleration and all-out straight-line speed. This aircraft is incredibly versatile due to the variety of offensive weapons which can be selected. Depending on the weapon loadout chosen, this twin-engine fighter can take on the roles of attacker, bomber and even bomber interceptor. Though the Bf 110 can take on fighters when the opportunity comes up or is necessary, caution must be taken as any single-engine fighter will likely out-turn the Bf 110 and manoeuvre into an attack position, effectively reversing roles.

When compared to its predecessors, the F2 and the C7, the G-2 is a noticeable upgrade in regards to both armament and flight performance. With the addition of the more powerful DB-605B engines, the G-2 has more power and responsive performance than the earlier versions. The G-2's offensive configuration consists of two 30 mm MK 108 cannons (same used on the Me 262s) and can be supplemented by two suspended 20 mm MG 151 cannons (same used on the Bf 109s) which come unlocked by default. This makes for a lethal combination and when compared to contemporaries such as the Beaufighter family of twin-engined aircraft, the G-2 clearly packs a more powerful punch.

The Bf 110 G-2 is considerably more manoeuvrable than contemporary twin-engine aircraft and if needed can outrun most, however, once the aircraft is outfitted with other than the default offensive armament and ordinance, its manoeuvrability becomes less effective and becomes an easier target for enemy aircraft.

The Bf 110 G-2 can effectively take on different roles, depending on the map played or the targets intended. Knowing the manoeuvrability challenges faced with selecting the various armament load-outs will help the G-2 pilot ensure to avoid areas of the map where they will be at a major disadvantage and ensure effective use of the ordinance on board.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Twin 30 mm Mk 108 cannons as primary armament at all times in the nose of the aircraft
  • Comes with a default twin 20 mm MG 151 secondary armament with a generous amount of ammo (375 RPG) mounted to the chin
  • Replaces the single MG 15 rear gunner turret with a twin MG 81 mount
  • Can mount an additional twin MG 151 on the belly of the aircraft for a total of 4 x MG 151's
  • A wide variety of bombs and rocket options to carry in combination with gunpods
  • Can mount a BK 3.7 cannon with either HEFI-T or HVAP-T shells (or both)
  • Fastest Bf 110 variant with the highest rate of climb
  • Like all 110's, the G2 is very sturdy and can survive a lot of punishment
  • Can suit a lot of different play styles like bomber hunting, CAS, or opportunistic support fighter

Cons:

  • Mk 108 cannons require significant leading in order to secure a hit, making them unsuitable against fast-moving players
  • Still significantly slower and bulkier than any single-engine fighter it flies against
  • The second, extra 20 mm MG 151 gunpod only carries 200 rounds between them, compared to the first MG 151 gun pod with a total of 750 rounds
  • A big target and very easy to hit in a turn
  • In a dogfight a 110 will be picked apart by the horde of Allied seagulls

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></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
