In a dogfight with contemporary fighters from other nations, the M.S.410 is more than capable of holding its own. However, be mindful of which engagements you pick to fight in! The most dangerous opponents the M.S.410 can meet in battle are early modifications of the German Bf-109 and Italian C.202 fighters. These machines easily leave the M.S.410 trailing behind when it comes to speed alone, but prove themselves as fair game in low speed energy fights and turning engagements. Once you have the target in your sights, wait for a perfect opportunity before pulling the trigger. Waiting for the enemy to make a sharp turn, exposing a large surface area of his plane is the best possible way of making the most use out of the limited ammunition capacity of the M.S.410’s single 20mm cannon. Once the cannon runs dry, you may be less conservative with your remaining ammunition, but do take note that it will take significantly more hits to bring your opponent down with machine gun fire alone.

All in all, the M.S.410 is a more than capable fighter at its rank. It combines decent maneuverability, speed and firepower into a very unsuspecting package, eager to unleash its fury at the controls of a cunning pilot. Have you had the chance to try the M.S.410 in battle yet? Maybe you’ve been on the receiving end of one? Let us know about your experiences with the M.S.410 in the comments below. Until next time!
