 ;Ground Forces RB
-In mixed ground battles, the Bf 110 G-2 is a fantastic multipurpose plane being able to carry various bombs, additional guns, rockets or nothing, allowing it to perform both ground attack and air superiority roles. For ground pounding, the most recommended setup is 2x 500 kg bombs with at least 1.5 seconds fuse. They are loaded on the fuselage and drop one by one, meaning that with accurate aiming, you can consistently get around 2 enemy targets easily. Dive at a target at no more than 45° (the elevator cannot effectively pitch the plane up in time, resulting in a crash) and gather speed up around 500 km/h (if too fast, cut the throttle). Zoom in on the target and when it is twice as big as the mouse cursor, place the target between the cursor and the cockpit, and release the bomb. For the 1x 250 kg + 1x 1000 kg setup, the aiming is similar, but place the target closer to the cursor for the 250 kg, and for the 1000 kg, closer to the cockpit. Once all bombs are out, zoom climb towards your airfield to gain altitude advantage (the average air spawn altitude seems to be around 1000 m) and keep and eye on the enemy air spawn. Once an enemy plane spawns, you must decide if it is single-engined or twin-engined as fast as possible. You can force it to engage in a head-on, as your nose mounted cannons are effective at this. If the opponent is single-engined, avoid turning too much and maintain your speed. If necessary, use your tail gun and put a stray of 7.92 mm bullets into it, but remember to use the ''armoured targets'' belt to compensate for the small calibre. You can also target ground units, especially lightly armoured ones: SPAA, light tanks, and open-topped SPGs.

 In simulator battles, the Bf 110 is a very decent heavy fighter and interceptor. Thanks to the wing-mounted twin engines, its nose is emptied up to house a considerably powerful set of armaments, including the infamous MG 151/20, MK 108, etc. The nose-centred guns mean that little if not no convergence setting is needed, which makes it very easy to aim with. However those cannons all have very curved trajectories, making vertical targeting slightly challenging. The short stubby nose gives brilliant over-the-nose visibility, benefiting the pilot in various scenarios. Protection wise, the Bf 110 has armour protecting some of its critical spots, such as the crew, cooling systems, and windscreen, thereby protecting the player from small-calibre projectiles or shrapnel damage. It also comes with a rear gunner which can give a nasty bite to inexperienced enemy fighters. Lastly, it provides a range of additional weapons such as bombs and gunpods, fulfilling various roles. However, due to its heavy fighter nature, average simulator pilots may struggle to perform dogfights against fighters in the Bf 110 as it is clumsy at manoeuvring. This major limitation forces the player to look for bombers or attackers instead. Therefore, a Bf 110's potential can be dependent on the composition of the opposing team. This limited role may outweigh other cons of the Bf 110 such as the framy cockpit, insufficient engine cooling and poor roll rate.
-If you want to target bombers, it is a good idea to bring gunpods, as these missions require heavy firepower over manoeuvrability. The additional gunpods will significantly boost your one-second burst mass which is lethal for common bombers like SB2M, B-25, Wellington, etc. The extra pair of 20 mm MG151 cannons is generally enough to cripple common bombers with a short burst, but if you want to go further into knocking down planes with a single shot, the 37 mm cannon is the best choice. It carries way more ammo than the Japanese 37 mm seen on the Ki-45 (66 vs. 15 rounds), boosting the potential for more kills. Against attackers, however, gunpods are not a must. These aircraft are generally not so well armoured that your original setup will be sufficient. Some are good turners too (eg. SBD-3, Yak-2 KABB), so of course you do not want to get out-turned by them! You can bring the least amount of fuel as it is already enough for a long fight. When taking off, give right rudder input to counter the shift to the left side.

 Rather than aimlessly roaming around the map, wasting your time to find a bomber, ambush around the following locations: friendly artillery positions, tank columns and friendly bases (especially the half-bombed ones). The former will help you to track down enemy ground-pounders, and the latter can lead you to enemy bombers, both of which are usually easy targets for the Bf 110. If you have an altitude advantage over the target aircraft, dive at them and perform deflection shooting to minimise the time where you are exposed to their gunners. The explosive-packed Minengeschoß rounds excel at destructing aircraft in a short shooting window. Usually 1-3 passes are more than enough to down an aircraft. If they have weak defensive guns, you can also sit behind them and comfortably tear off their parts as this deals damage faster than deflection shots. If you do not have altitude advantage, however, your tactic depends on the target. If it is weakly armed and/or protected, try sneaking directly under its belly and pulling straight up to fire a solid 1-3 seconds burst. If it is very robust and well protected by gunners, either climb to a higher altitude (if you are patient enough) before attacking, or abort the engagement. Although the Bf 110 is fairly well armoured, a good gunner can still put some bullets accurately into your critical parts like cooling systems. With an engine overheating, damaged or completely broken, it is quite hard to wrestle heavy bombers and get back home in one piece.
-Missions like "destroy enemy surveillance aircraft/bombers/attackers" are also a great opportunity for you. The AIs usually show up around 2-3 km high. You can tail behind the AI formation and pick them off one by one. Common AI include [[A-36]], [[Ju 87 (Family)|Ju-87]], [[He 111 (Family)|He-111]], and [[Do 217 (Family)|Do-217]]. Aim precisely and burst decisively, as you do not want to expose yourself to AI gunners for too long (they are quite accurate and usually shoot in crossfires). With careful aiming, a heavy fighter like Bf 110 can finish off an entire formation alone within minutes. But do watch out for the ammunition of the Mk 108, once it runs out it will be way harder to quickly destroy a target.

 If you must engage a fighter, you have to keep your speed up. Force a head-on where possible and get the most out of this opportunity by aiming carefully (slightly upwards to compensate for shell drop). If the fighter is not killed, you can keep flying in a straight line rather than turning towards it, to avoid bleeding speed. Against a fast-flying target (you in this case), average Sim pilots cannot do much except sitting behind it and shoot. Utilise this to your advantage, switch to gunner view and fire prolonged bursts targeting the fuselage. The 7.92 mm AP bullets can deal quite some damage to a fragile single-engine fighter, warding it off. Veteran Sim pilots will have more ways of dealing with a heavy fighter, so you cannot do much. Accelerate towards a nearby friendly airfield, use your gunner and hope for the best. Still, avoid manoeuvring with fighters (unless they are distracted) since your turn rate is rather poor. If you do manoeuvre, pull the stick gently, do not pull much when the plane is flying slow, it will result in wobbles or spins. Fortunately the Bf 110 is able to recover easily from flat spins (by kicking the rudder to the opposite side of spin, and push the stick all the way back).

Both the belts for the 30 mm Mk 108 and the shells in the add-on 37 mm BK3.7 cannot effectively damage it as its hull is overall quite empty, causing your shells to do little to no damage. Some identifying features of the ZSD63 is its rather boxy and tall hull with a geometric turret sitting at the back, slightly similar to a Wirbelwind's. The firing manner is also distinctive: the sound and green tracers are very rapid, much like a buzz saw, but then it will remain silent for half a minute reloading. Note that an experienced ZSD player will hold its fire or shoot in single salvos with long halts between, making it look like that it's reloading.

If you are out of bombs and see an F6F spawning in, gather altitude and BnZ it when it is diving at a ground target. If both of you spawned while carrying bombs, you can turn around and climb in the opposite direction (towards airfield, not frontline) to gain some altitude or to wait for friendly fighters. Pick on the F6F while it is dealing with your teammates. If, unfortunately, an F6F catches you while you are ground-pounding enemy ground targets, switch to gunner view and target carefully at its engine (still, you will not survive long in front of its 6x [[M2HB (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm M2]]). Or if you have bombs left, drop to treetop altitude and release your bomb, the blast will hopefully damage or even destroy the chasing aircraft.

 The {{PAGENAME}} is a textbook example of what classifies a twin-engined fighter. Positive capabilities of this aircraft include an outstanding turn time, menacing offensive armament, amazing acceleration and all-out straight-line speed. This aircraft is incredibly versatile due to the variety of offensive weapons which can be selected. Depending on the weapon loadout chosen, this strike aircraft can take on the roles of attacker, bomber and even bomber interceptor. Though the Bf 110 can take on fighters when the opportunity comes up or is necessary, caution must be taken as any single-engine fighter will likely out-turn the Bf 110 and manoeuvre into an attack position, effectively reversing roles.
-When compared to its predecessors, the [[Bf 110 F-2|F2]] and the [[Bf 110 C-7|C7]], the G-2 is a noticeable upgrade in regards to both armament and flight performance. With the addition of the more powerful DB-605B engines, the G-2 has more power and responsive performance than the earlier versions. The G-2's offensive configuration consists of two 30 mm MK 108 cannons (same used on the [[Me 262 (Family)|Me 262]]s) and can be supplemented by two suspended 20 mm MG 151 cannons (same used on the [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109]]s) which come unlocked by default. This makes for a lethal combination and when compared to contemporaries such as the [[Beaufighter (Family)|Beaufighter]] family of twin-engined aircraft, the G-2 clearly packs a more powerful punch.

While it has a good climb rate, it tends to lose energy in turns and at high speed.

Once all bombs are out, zoom climb towards your airfield to gain altitude advantage (the average air spawn altitude seems to be around 1000 m) and keep and eye on the enemy air spawn. Once an enemy plane spawns, you must decide if it is single-engined or twin-engined as fast as possible. You can force it to engage in a head-on, as your nose mounted cannons are effective at this. If the opponent is single-engined, avoid turning too much and maintain your speed. If necessary, use your tail gun and put a stray of 7.92 mm bullets into it, but remember to use the ''armoured targets'' belt to compensate for the small calibre. You can also target ground units, especially lightly armoured ones: SPAA, light tanks, and open-topped SPGs.

-In simulator battles, the Bf 110 is a very decent heavy fighter and interceptor. Thanks to the wing-mounted twin engines, its nose is emptied up to house a considerably powerful set of armaments, including the infamous MG151/20, MK 108, etc. The nose-centred guns mean that little if not no convergence setting is needed, which makes it very easy to aim with. However those cannons all have very curved trajectories, making vertical targeting slightly challenging. The short stubby nose gives brilliant over-the-nose visibility, benefiting the pilot in various scenarios. Protection wise, the Bf 110 has armour protecting some of its critical spots, such as the crew, cooling systems, and windscreen, thereby protecting the player from small-calibre projectiles or shrapnel damage. It also comes with a rear gunner which can give a nasty bite to inexperienced enemy fighters. Lastly, it provides a range of additional weapons such as bombs and gunpods, fulfilling various roles. However, due to its heavy fighter nature, average simulator pilots may struggle to perform dogfights against fighters in the Bf 110 as it is clumsy at manoeuvring. This major limitation forces the player to look for bombers or attackers instead. Therefore, a Bf 110's potential can be dependent on the composition of the opposing team. This limited role may outweigh other cons of the Bf 110 such as the framy cockpit, insufficient engine cooling and poor roll rate.

 If you want to target bombers, it is a good idea to bring gunpods, as these missions require heavy firepower over manoeuvrability. The additional gunpods will significantly boost your one-second burst mass which is lethal for common bombers like SB2M, B-25, Wellington, etc. The extra pair of 20 mm MG151 cannons is generally enough to cripple common bombers with a short burst, but if you want to go further into knocking down planes with a single shot, the 37 mm cannon is the best choice. It carries way more ammo than the Japanese 37 mm seen on the Ki-45 (66 vs. 15 rounds), boosting the potential for more kills. Against attackers, however, gunpods are not a must. These aircraft are generally not so well armoured that your original setup will be sufficient. Some are good turners too (eg. SBD-3, Yak-2 KABB), so of course you do not want to get out-turned by them! You can bring the least amount of fuel as it is already enough for a long fight. When taking off, give right rudder input to counter the shift to the left side.

 When compared to its predecessors, the [[Bf 110 F-2|F2]] and the [[Bf 110 C-7|C7]], the G-2 is a noticeable upgrade in regards to both armament and flight performance. With the addition of the more powerful DB-605B engines, the G-2 has more power and responsive performance than the earlier versions. The G-2's offensive configuration consists of two 30 mm MK 108 cannons (same used on the [[Me 262 (Family)|Me 262]]s) and can be supplemented by two suspended 20 mm MG 151 cannons (same used on the [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109]]s) which come unlocked by default. This makes for a lethal combination and when compared to contemporaries such as the [[Beaufighter (Family)|Beaufighter]] family of twin-engined aircraft, the G-2 clearly packs a more powerful punch.
-The {{PAGENAME}} is considerably more manoeuvrable than contemporary twin-engine aircraft and if needed can outrun most, however, once the aircraft is outfitted with other than the default offensive armament and ordnance, its manoeuvrability becomes less effective and becomes an easier target for enemy aircraft.
+The {{PAGENAME}} is a heavy plane with little maneuverability even compared to other twin-engine aircraft: once more suspended weapons are taken, its flight characteristics worsen even further. While it has a good climb rate, it tends to lose energy in turns and at high speed.
 The {{PAGENAME}} can effectively take on different roles, depending on the map played or the targets intended. Knowing the manoeuvrability challenges faced with selecting the various armament load-outs will help the G-2 pilot ensure to avoid areas of the map where they will be at a major disadvantage and ensure effective use of the ordnance on board.
