-The Me 410 B variant was intended to improve on the Me 410 A with engines. DB 603G engines were planned to be installed, but production and design issues meant the DB 603G would never be put into any aircraft. Thus, the Me 410 B was essentially just a Me 410 A but with more fuel, strengthened undercarriage, and an oxygen system for high-altitude flight. The Me 410 B-1/U2 was specifically almost identical to the [[Me 410 A-1/U2|A-1/U2]], except for the improvements that came with the B variant. The B-2/U2 was intended to fight against bomber formations and received the WB 151A modification set, which added two MG 151s. It also had an armoured glass windscreen and a fighter gunsight.

 April 1944 saw the Me 410 B version replace the Me 410 A on the assembly lines. The main distinction of this variant was its Daimler-Benz DB 603G twelve-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The new engines had an increased boost and compression ratio, which allowed a takeoff power of 1,900 hp.

 In April 1944, several Me 410 B-2/U4 aircraft received a 37 mm Rheinmetall BK 3.7 aircraft anti-tank cannon for trial.

-This aeroplane 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 touchdown, 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 for chasing all sorts of bombers. Due to its 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 manoeuvrability. Never forget that!
+Your greatest advantage, however, is the planes' speed, certainly not its manoeuvrability.
 For this reason, always try to get into power fighting when it comes to taking on with single-engined enemies. Try to stay in a group. Your defence weaponry will serve you as well as it will your allies.
