I thought the Messerschmitt Me-410 was as close as I could get to a Messerschmitt Me-210, all in all I think I might have misplaced it with the Messerschmitt Bf-110. Is there that much difference. I noticed the Bf-110 has the twin tails vs the Me-210/410s only have a single tail section. Help?

A little reading on these planes histories would have helped you immensely. The Bf-110 was built as a long range fighter but was a miserable failure in that role. The Me-210 was to be the 110's replacement. The 210 was very unstable in flight and was grounded soon after the test showed it to be a flop this cost Willy Messerschmidt his job. The 410 is a redesigned 210 to work out all the 210's problems. This plane was now a very good plane who's job had now disappeared as the bombers it would have protected no longer were attacking anyone as the allies controlled the skies and the new crop of allied fighters would still slaughter the 410 just as easily as older fighters killed the Bf-110's. However these planes did make very nice night fighters. As for differences the 410's can do dive bombing attacks and had a power operated machine cannon in the tail fuselage these were big advances on the 110. As usual the planes were too little way too late.

do a web search and look closely at the pictures, how can you think a twin boom looks the same as a single tail section.
