Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but 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 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
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.
