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).

With the Schrage Musik cannons, the Bf 110 G-4 can adapt to a new way of bomber hunting by flying under the bomber and using the vertical cannons to clip the wings or pilot snipe from the bottom. Keep in mind some bombers have ball gunners. Daring players may use the Schrage Musik for ground strafing by flying inverted. Players familiar with the Bf 110 will understand boom and zoom tactics are best used. Be wary of dogfights or large clusters of enemies.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

• More offensive armaments than the G-2 while retaining the same BR
• Access to the Schrage Musik cannon for bomber hunting
• Has radar
• Fast firing defensive armament

Cons:

• Schrage Musik cannon is difficult to use for anything other than bomber hunting without experience
• Too heavy for anything other than boom and zoom or bomber hunting
• Radar creates drag

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
