 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features.

Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.
+The Me 410 B-6/U3 was the naval variant of the Zerstӧrer. Its main mission was to escort German warships and vessels like the U-boat arm. For communication purposes, the FuG 200 “Zaunkӧnig” radio system was used to help talk to U-boats. In addition to the two MG 151 cannons, two MK 103 30 mm cannons were also fitted. Only a handful were actually produced so their impact was negligible; especially when the Germans lost France. Me 410 B-6s were then relegated to rescue missions and a few were found by the British.

 In addition to the main Me 410 B modifications, a number of special-purpose variants of the Hornet were created for maritime operations. The anti-ship Me 410 B-6/R3 modification was equipped with a FuG 200 Hohentwiel patrol radar system and a suspended WB 103 container with two 30 mm Rheinmetall-Borsig MK 103 cannons.
@@ Line 208: / Line 210: @@
 Although the Me 410 was superior to the Bf 110 in its performance characteristics, most of all in its speed and flight range, it was inferior as far as versatility was concerned. The Me 410's production was discontinued in September 1944. By this time, 1,160 machines were built in all versions, including bombers and scouts. It should be noted that some aircraft were redesigned Me.210s whose construction had not yet been completed.
