The Bf 110 C-7 was a German heavy fighter, developed in the late 1930s. The development started when RLM issued a request for a new multipurpose fighter with long range and an internal bomb bay. The specifications asked for a twin-engined, all-metal monoplane armed with cannons and bomb bay, as well as having a three-man crew. Henschel, Focke-Wulf, and Bayerische Flugzeugwerke responded to the request. The Bf 110 prototype came out victorious over the other companies' prototypes as it was faster, had longer range, and heavier armament. The Bf 110s served as long-range escort fighters where they saw success during the Polish and French campaigns. However, they were heavily decimated during the Battle of Britain when facing the single-engined Spitfires and Hurricanes. After this debacle, the Bf 110s moved to night fighter roles equipped with radar or as ground attackers. The Bf 110 C was the first major production series, equipped with DB 601 engines, the C-7 was based on the previous C-4/B, made into a fighter-bomber by adding a pair of ETC 500 bomb racks on the centreline and uprated DB601P engines.
It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. Originally modelled as the Bf 110 C-4, the vehicle was renamed and remodelled into the C-7 in Update 1.79 "Project X". In-game, it is one of the fastest aircraft at its battle rating. It packs incredible firepower with four 7.92 mm MG 17s and two 20 mm cannons, with a copious 360 rounds all in a centreline mount, a hard-hitting package that will reach out and destroy aircraft from afar. Being a pure Boom & Zoom fighter, it is generally recommended to fire both guns when attacking enemies in order to maximize hit probability at close distances when making a high-speed pass.
