@NatteFrost; I hope i have answered your question; if not feel free to ask more. 

You have not flown elite without the 20mms, thats impossible i think. But the demounting of 20mms warning gave confusion. If you want i can submit pictures of my non-specialist Me410 for further clarification.

 

both you and eek has. it was a combo of game confusion(general lack of INGAME infomation that this can and will happend) and possibly user error. (me presuming that all weapons will by defualt allways be equipped when you are elite, something that i learned now they dont)

 

so, thread can now rest, unless the rest of you have a consistent urge to debate more about the specialist mode for this spesific plane, or give general hint/tips for the 410 for new players.

 

my tips are:

-use that speed. you are a very fast plane and that makes you a good cap defender, dont hunt single planes unless it is bombers and ground atackers.

-equip the 30mm and use them. they are hard to aim and land shots whit but you must get used to them cuz at tier 8 they are the only cannons you get.

-rockets plus bombs makes you a mini ground attacker. if you have both you can solo cap a neutral radar station.

- this plane like the 2 prev suffers badly from not having cockpit equipment unlocked as defualt. gun acc is very bad so get marksman skill on your pilot asap!

With Me-410 the Boom and Zoom is truly back. High speed means less time to kill enemy planes in dive, which means 30 mils are better option as they can kill enemy planes extremely fast, sometimes even enemy defence heavies in one frontal pass. Just give more lead than with 20 mils - once you master the aim the reward is immense. Improving accuracy of the guns makes a huge difference, use Sights and Marksman 1+2 for best results.

Just got the 410 to specialist mode with the Valkyrie at the controls. Getting used to the 30mm as it's either those or nothing - which IMHO is ridiculous as in stock mode you can choose between bombs, 20mm or 30mm ... what do you mean, specialist ?!

 

It took some time to appreciate planes like the Me-410 and FW-190, but I'm slowly getting there ...

Same problem with the Multirole Fighters that can choose between rockets and bombs, i habe lost the bombs on my F4U-1 in Specialist Mode, have to use the crap rockets of which one is not even enough to destroy a bunker, the same will be with the F4U-4. Why, if there are options, why do you force us to use one specific configuration?

 

And why did i see a specialist Pancacke, with Bombs the other day if the top configuration would be Tiny Tim rockets?

Currently working on the pancake, have researched, but not bought the Tiny Tims, wonder what will happen when I get to Specialist in this case?

[RoyalFlyingCorps]

Well, if you get there and find you can mount the bombs rather than the Tiny Tims be sure to tell us.  I'd like that option and my specialised Pancake doesn't have it.

An interesting one. You will for sure have the XP needed for T.Tims by the time you got Specialization, but hey - don't research them and post what happened

[omglaserspewpew]

He clearly said he researched Tims already.

 

Besides, you can't start specializing unless you have all components researched.

Oh hell, I've started drinking way to early

But do you also have to buy them first ?

no

[GonerNL]

That would be interesting ; when you research equipment but don't purchase it, it will not be forced on you in specialist mode ??

 

Now that's something that really needs to be fixed ; not being able to choose your weapons in spec but having to use the 'top' weapons ...

I think it's quite simple: it will be forced on you as the only available option, but left empty as when you don't want it mounted.

[GonerNL]

I would hope that if I did not purchase the top gun, it will equip the one below that ...  You surely can't have an empty gun slot ? It's not the same as outboard weapons where you can choose to carry bombs/rockets or not, I think.

[RoyalFlyingCorps]

That’s quite interesting.  I wonder what would happen in that case.

[Frateras]

Anyway a Me-410 with 2 250 kg bombs would be a more powerful plane. It means that 2 flak batteries instead of one could be easily destroyed in one run up. I got no issue with 30 mm instead of 20 mm guns.

[RoyalFlyingCorps]

It amuses me that part of the puff for the nonsensical specialisation system was that players would have the freedom to build their aircraft so that they could play them them the way they want to play them - not true for the most part - and the first thing specialisation does is remove your option to mount anything below the top modules.  I don’t think the WoWP team would win any prizes for logical consistency.

Here we are months after being promised by one know-it-all that this was “being looked into” and nothing has changed, of course.
