Quick Info

Variants
Me 410A-1 Schnellbomber   (fast bomber), fixed forward-firing armament of 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and 2 × 0.312 in (7,92 mm) MG 17 machine guns, a defensive armament of 2 × 0.51 in (13 mm) MG 131 trainable rearward-firing machine guns in two remotely controlled barbettes on the sides of the fuselage immediately to the rear of the wing trailing edges, and provision for 2,205 lb (1.000 kg) of disposable stores in a weapons bay located in the lower part of the forward fuselage: this bay could carry 1 × 2,205 lb (1.000 kg) SC-1000 or SD-1000 bomb, or 2 × 1,102 lb (500 kg) SC-500 bombs, or 8 × 110 lb (50 kg) SC-50 bombs; the type could also be fitted under the wing roots with tandem pairs of Aussen-ETC racks for the carriage of an additional 4 × 110 lb (50 kg) SC-50 bombs. The bombs were aimed with the aid of a Stuvi 5B dive-bombing sight. 
Me 410A-1/U1   Reconnaissance version, fitted with 1 × Rb 20/30, Rb 50/30 or Rb 75/30 camera in the central fuselage 
Me 410A-1/U2   Heavy fighter version, fitted with a pallet (Waffenbehalter) with 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon fixed forward/firing in the weapons bay, 250 rounds each. 
Me 410A-1/U4   Bomber-destroyer version, standard forward-firing gun battery replaced by a single 50 mm BK 5 gun with 21 rounds of ammunition in a cylindrical magazine and aimed with the aid of a ZFR 4a sight. 
Me 410A-2 Zerstörer Heavy fighter version, identical to Me 410A-1 and carried exactly the same gun and internal bomb armaments, but lacked the Stuvi 5B dive-bombing sight and provision for the four external 110 lb (50 kg) bombs. A number of aircraft were later fitted as a bomber destroyer. 
Me 410A-2/U4   Bomber-destroyer version, retained the standard forward-firing gun battery in combination with a single 50 mm BK 5 gun supplied with 21 rounds of ammunition from a cylindrical magazine. 
Me 410A-3   Reconnaissance versio, the 2 × 0.312 inch (7,92 mm) MG 17 machine guns were eliminated and the lower line of the forward fuselage was deepened to allow the incorporation of two Rb 20/30, Rb 50/30 or Rb 75/30 cameras in the former weapons bay. 
Me 410B-1   Included uprated powerplant: 2 × Daimler-Benz DB 603G inverted-Vee, same dimensions as the Me 410A-1/U2, the versions of the Me 410B-1 at first were identical to the Me 410A series, so the Me 410B-1 was the basic Schnellbomber. 
Me 410B-1/U2   Heavy fighter version, fitted with a pallet (Waffenbehalter) with 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon fixed forward/firing in the weapons bay, 250 rounds each. 
Me 410B-1/U4   Bomber-destroyer version. This model had the standard forward-firing gun battery replaced by a single 50 mm BK 5 gun with 21 rounds of ammunition in a cylindrical magazine and aimed with the aid of a ZFR 4a sight. 
Me 410B-2   This was the equivalent to the Me 410A-2 series, in the form of a heavy fighter. 
Me 410B-2/U2   The fixed forward-firing armament was augmented by the addition of a weapons-bay pallet (Waffenbehalter) with 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 fixed forward-firing cannon, 250 rounds each. 
Me 410B-2/U4   Bomber-destroyer variant with a formidable fixed forward-firing armament of 2 × 30 mm MK 103 cannon (replacing the two 20 mm cannon and two 0.312 in/7,92 mm machine guns on the basic fighter) in combination with 1 × 50 mm BK 5 gun supplied with 21 rounds of ammunition from a cylindrical magazine. 
Me 410B-2/U2/R2   Fitted with an additional 2 × 30 mm MK 108 cannon. 
Me 410B-2/U2/R3   Fitted with an additional 2 × 30 mm MK 103 cannon. 
Me 410B-2/U2/R4   Fitted with an additional 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon. 
Me 410B-2/U2/R5   Fitted with an additional 4 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon. 
Me 410B-3   Long-range reconnaissance variant of Me 410B model analogous to the Me 410A-3, and therefore had the 2 × 0.312 in (7,92 mm) MG 17 machine guns eliminated and lower line of the forward fuselage deepened to allow the incorporation of two Rb 20/30, Rb 50/30 or Rb 75/30 cameras in the former weapons bay. 
Me 410B-5   Produced only in small numbers and used mostly for experimental work, this was a torpedo bomber version of the standard Me 410B with the 2 × 0.312 in (7,92 mm) MG 17 machine guns deleted, FuG 200 Hohentwiel air-to-surface search radar fitted, and provision made for a disposable armament of 1 × 1,984 lb (900 kg) LT F5b torpedo, or 1 × 1,675 lb (760 kg) LT F5i torpedo, or 1 × 3,968 lb (1.800 kg) SC-1800 bomb, or 2 × 882 lb (400 kg) BT-400 bomb-torpedoes, or 6 × 440 lb (200 kg) BT-200 bomb-torpedoes carried as two under the fuselage and four under the outer wing panels.
The type also had provision for the defensive gun barbettes to be replaced by a 154 Imp gal (184.9 US gal, 700 liter) auxiliary fuel tank, and as the disposable load was carried externally the former weapon bay was adopted to carry a 143 Imp gal (171.7 US gal, 650 liter) auxiliary fuel tank. 
Me 410B-6   This was a heavy fighter optimized for the coastal anti-shipping role with FuG 200 Hohentwiel air-to-surface search radar and a gun armament of 2 × 30 mm MK 103 cannon, 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and 2 × 0.51 in (13 mm) MG 131 machine guns. 
Me 410B-7   Built only in very small numbers, used mostly for development work as recon fighter optimized for day role. 
Me 410B-8   Built in Small numbers, used mostly for development work as a reconnaissance fighter optimized for the nocturnal role with flares carried in the weapons bay. 
Me 410C   Two new wings were designed, increasing span to 60 ft or 67 ft (18.25 m or 20.45 m). The powerplant would by 2 × Daimler-Benz DB 603JZ, or 2 × Junkers Jumo 213E/JZ, or 2 × BMW 801TJ. All engines would be fitted with turbosuperchargers, and drive four-bladed propellers with very wide blades. The Daimler-Benz's would be fitted with a annular nose radiator in stead of the usual ones under the rear part of the wings. The main landing gear would retract straight to the rear, while twisting the wheels 90 degrees. Me 410C was abandoned before any production aircraft were built. 
Me 410D   Considered in stead of the Me 410C, powered by 2 × Daimler-Benz DB 603JZ inverted-Vee engines, and had a revised forward fuselage to increase the field of view of the pilot and cause lower drag. In this version the outer wing panels would be made out of wood, to conserve strategic materials.
Me 410H   Interim version would replace the Me410D series, and was basically identical to the Me 410B-2. This version however had extra untapered wing panels between the engines and the outer wing panels. Span would have increased to 75 ft (23 m), but the first conversion was never completed. 
Total Production: 1160 built
