Me-410 - historical modification needed

[mrtomek]

Hi,

I am convinced that current bomb loading variants (8x70/ 1x500/ 2x250, maybe except 1x1000) are definitely not enough for such a plane. I have already read several interesting books concerning me-410 and I think that we could get four external bomb racks for 4xSC50/SD70. Me410 is too slow anyway so this additional drag won't do much difference 😉.

Thank you for all opinions about it.

PS. There are never enough bombs, so under belly is another good place...

PS2. Wgr.21 should be independent modification compatible also with bomb variants, we could use it against ground targets (for example with ground-attack, low-altitute dream loadout variant: 8xSD70 internal + 4xSD70 ext. + 4xWgr.21). Maybe not too accurate rockets, but with nice looking explosion 😉

Would be a nice addition to the offensive capability of the Me 410. and would put it on par with the Bf 110s bomb load.
