  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, chin-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, cheek-mounted (350 rpg = 700 total)

  • Without load
  • 4 x Wfr.Gr.21 rockets

Defensive armament

Main article: MG 131 (13 mm)

The Me 410 B-1/U2 is armed with:

  • 1 x 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, 2 x beam turret (500 rpg = 1,000 total)

Usage in battles

This airplane is great for conquering airbases, because you can use it to approach very close to the ground and very, VERY fast up to the very last moment. This is because of the "Hornisse"'s effective airbrake. When running towards the runway, don't hesitate to put the pedal to the metal up to really shortly before touch-down, then push off the airbrake, gear and all flaps (in that order). Ignore all warning and try to touch-down with about 200-240 km/h.

It is also suitable of chasing all sorts of bombers. Due to it's heavy nose armament, taking down nearly any enemy is just a matter of seconds.

Your greatest advantage, however, is the planes' speed, certainly not it's maneuverability. Never forget that!

For this reason, always try to get into power fighting when it comes to take on with single-engined enemies. Try to stay in a group. Your defense weaponary will serve you as well as it will your allies.

IV Engine Injection Cover New 20 mm cannons

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • The ME 410's fuselage is quite durable and withstands a good punch.
  • It's defensive armament, once fully installed, is remarkably effective, especially when it comes along with a skilled crew
  • It can reach amazing high levels of speed within it's class, which is especially effective in a bomb run or when fleeing the enemy

Cons:

  • Like most twin-engine planes, the "Hornisse" is not as maneuverable as a single-engined fighter
  • When pulling her up, she loses speed extensively

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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