The Messerschmitt Bf 110, often known unofficially as the Me 110,[2] is a twin-engine (Destroyer, heavy fighter), fighter-bomber (Jagdbomber or Jabo), and night fighter (Nachtjäger) developed in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Hermann Göring was a proponent of the Bf 110, believing its heavy armament, speed, and range would make the Bf 110 the Luftwaffe’s premier offensive fighter. Early variants were armed with two MG FF 20 mm cannon, four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns, and one 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 15 machine gun for deference (later variants would replace the MG FFs with MG 151s and the rear gunner station would be armed with the twin-barreled MG 81Z). Development work on an improved type to replace the Bf 110 - the Messerschmitt Me 210 - began before the war started, but its teething troubles resulted in the Bf 110 soldiering on until the end of the war in various roles. Its intended replacements, the aforementioned Me 210 and the significantly improved Me 410 Hornisse never fully replaced the Bf 110. And it would really please me if I got to silver before my birthday 10 days away!!!

@AndrewGarrison ok! Thanks!
@AviationCat007 sure, just ensure your plane has the VR tag and a curator will review it as soon as we can.
@AndrewGarrison hey can you see if a plane of mine can be curated I want it to be for vr
Please, only one tag is necessary. It is re-curated now.
@AndrewGarrison Alright I finished. Thank you!
@LarryTad It's a new thing we are trying out to create a list of crafts that will be available for SPVR. I have un-curated this so you can edit it. Tag me when you are done and I'll re-curate it.
But @AndrewGarrison what does (This post is curated and therefore its title and description cannot be edited) when I try to edit the name of the plane because I named it wrong accidentally? What does it mean?
Thank you @AndrewGarrison.
@Clutch Thank You!! I plan to upload more ww2 planes today.
