Usage in battles
The B110 is an aircraft that can fulfil many roles in War Thunder. Experiment with strategies to make one that best suits your playing style. Bellow are some of the most common roles a 110 can fulfill.
Interceptor role
The good enough climb rate for the Bf 110 guarantees you’ll be able to climb high enough to intercept bombers. Along with the good armament and excellent survivability it is a bomber’s worst nightmare.
Strike aircraft
With acces to a wide variety to bomb loads and decent enough elevator authority the Bf 110 can change the tide of a battle. Machine guns from tanks will do little harm to the Destroyer, but this does not mean you are invulnerable from threats from the ground. Your plane is a very big target for SPAA and they can make short work of your Destroyer.
