New Luftwaffe Campaign: "The Kammhuber Line"
#9

Aleksander!

Well, as it is supposed to take place in late 41 - early 42, the Bf110 had no radar of its own, hence no antennae. And the "Schräge Musik / Jazz music" oblique firing guns were of later date as well! And here I'm quoting Wikipedia:

"The first installation was made late in 1942, in a Dornier Do 17Z-10 that was also equipped with the early UHF-band version of the FuG 202 Lichtenstein BC radar. Further experimentation was carried out by the Luftwaffe weapons testing centre at Tarnewitz through 1942, and an angle of between 60 and 75 degrees was found to give best results.

Meanwhile, Schönert was made CO of II./NJG 5, and an armourer serving with the Gruppe, Oberfeldwebel Mahle developed a working arrangement with the unit's Bf-110's and a pair of MG FF/M 20 mm cannon. Schönert used such a modified Bf-110 to shoot down a bomber in May 1943. From June 1943 on, an official conversion kit was produced for the Junkers Ju 88 and Dornier Do 217N fighters."

If you want Schräge Musik and Radar antennae I recommend that you try my Bf110 Battle for Berlin campaign! See this:
