The C-variant (introduced in 1939) was the first version to enter mass production. The aircraft performed moderately well during the September Campaign and better in France; however, during the Battle of Britain, it proved too heavy and lacked maneuverability when pitted against British Spitfires and Hurricanes. Following these experiences, it was reassigned to the role of a night fighter and interceptor, where it played a crucial part in the defense of the Reich against Allied air raids. Despite its limitations in daylight combat, production continued until 1944. In total, approximately 5,760 units were built across numerous variants (A–H), making it one of the most significant aircraft designs in the Luftwaffe.
