Can we give the Luftwaffe a Bf-110 Zerstörer that can compete with the RAF fighters of summer 1940? The RLM specification remains long range, twin-engine, all-metal monoplane, armed with cannon. Except, we'll ignore the specified number of crew (3) and bomb bay, as these were not followed IOTL's Bf-110.

The Luftwaffe essentially needs a P-38 Lightning in 1939. Is the Focke-Wulf Ta 154, Heinkel He 219, or a light-weight fighter variant of the Henschel Hs 129 technically feasible in 1939?

I've always liked the looks of the Focke-Wulf Fw 187 of the late 1930s, but can it beat a Spitfire?

In 1935,
Kurt Tank made the suggestion of creating a long-range single-seat fighter under a private venture within Focke-Wulf. The idea was not to produce a heavy fighter or bomber destroyer like the Bf 110, but instead a long-range design that would have the performance of a single-seat design.
