The Messerschmitt Bf 110C-3/C-4 Zerstörer (Destroyer) is a German twin-engine heavy fighter used during World War II.

Part of the Bf 110 series, the C-3 and C-4 variants were designed for long-range escort and ground attack missions.

They featured two Daimler-Benz DB 601A engines, which provided a top speed of around 560 km/h (348 mph).

The Bf 110C-3/C-4 was armed with an impressive array of weapons, including two 20 mm MG FF/M cannons, four 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns, and a rear-mounted MG 15 for defensive purposes.

The C-4 variant was equipped with additional armor for the cockpit, enhancing its survivability in combat.

Despite its strong armament and versatility, the Bf 110 faced challenges against more agile single-engine fighters.

However, it found success in roles such as bomber escort, ground attack, and night fighting, contributing significantly to Luftwaffe operations in the early years of the war.

Details

Alongside the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter and the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber, the Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstorer is considered one of the symbols of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War.

The Messerschmitt's heavy multi-role twin-engine fighter was extensively employed by the German air force during the war and, in its various versions, used to fulfill several operational roles: interceptor, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance, anti-ship aircraft, and night fighter.

Its two Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines, capable of delivering 1200 hp, allowed the heavy fighter to reach a maximum speed of 560 km/h. Versions C and D were widely deployed on all fronts from the early stages of the war.

Heavily armed with two 20mm cannons, four 7.92mm machine guns, and a rear machine gun for self-defense, it could carry bombs or additional fuel tanks under the wings to increase its operational range.
