This modification of the venerable Messerschmitt Me 410 was one of the most iconic, sporting an enormous 50-millimeter Rheinmetall BK-5 autocannon in the nose, assisted by two hull-mounted 30-mm autocannons and four rockets. This loadout will allow the Me 410 B-2 to take out most enemies in one fell swoop, but it requires significant gunnery skill. Using its immense firepower successfully will call for carefully planned approaches on targets but will be highly rewarding when executed properly.

Note:
