Total Shot Down
info
A specialized variant designed for intercepting Allied bombers, the C-3 would have featured obliquely-mounted upward-firing 20mm or 30mm cannons—a configuration known as Schräge Musik. These would have allowed the Ar 240 to attack bombers from below, outside the range of defensive gunners. While promising on paper, no known examples were constructed.
