Notes:
-Speed, roll, and pitch are realistic
-Poor cockpit view, sorry

History: After the success of the Heinkel "Uhu", Dornier and Panama Aviation joined forces to create an aircraft capable of beating or matching the "Uhu". The Do-235A(B) sat two (pilot/navigator and weapons officer/radio operator) in a spacious cockpit. It was fitted with the best radar equipment that they could afford, which made the aircraft deadly in its night-fighting/attacking roles. It was only armed with four machine guns but could be fitted with MK.103 gun pods. The standard load out was four 450 lbs. bombs and two external drop tanks to increase the range (if taken off from Framce ot could fly all the way deep into inland England and back). It was finally introduced in late 1944 and served until the end of the war. Panama Aviation made most of the fuselage while Dornier fit the aircraft with all of the cockpit necessaties and the weapons. The Liftwaffe was the only air force to ever use the aircraft.

    Well, it is based off of Dornier night fighters. Guess you need to get your NIGHT vision adjusted! @Treadmill103
