This is a Gameplay Feedback request to fix the mossie.

The main thing for me that needs fixing is the 1 Hit set on fire bull poop!!! i have never heard of mosquito's being susceptible to fire more than any other aircraft, in fact, the cannon rounds from AA / other aircraft often passed straight through the Mossie.

For a plane that was judged to be so superior to the Bf110... why is it so inferior? why is the stall so violent? why does it rock side to side after takeoff (auto takeoff) ?

Had a 'mare tonight. Died more times i think in a fighter than the whole tour combined, got vulched landing, got rammed, got killed by invisible gv's because i didnt have ground vis range on, nothing was going my way!!

But towards the end of the night it all got better, had an absolute beauty of a furball going at that island base in the NW, was so much fun.

I don't know how the real one flew but this one seems really unstable to me. It goes into a spin way easy as well bouncing and rocking all over kindom come with control inputs. It's like its on rubber bands compared to a lot of other birds. Try hitting the rudder and watch it wobble all over the place. I can't imagine how thats possible at 300mph.

The Mossie very very rarely caught fire despite being made of wood.
Yup the FM seems way off on it.

Agreed, the Mossie is probably the lamest duck in the pack right now. Granted, its not supposed to compete vs the late war stuff like the LGay7, P51, and D9 but I'd swear alot more stuff catch it than are supposed to. Add that to the fact it is like a hurricane lamp- glass and bursts into flames when broken- and its not worth flying.

Real sad when compared to what their historical counter-parts did.

I agree, the "flaming mo" needs to be fixed.

As for the flight model. It "feels" as if the mossie has a problem with its center-of-gravity set too far back. when flying slow and heavy the tail really feels like it pulls you down.

This would also explain the mossie tendency to stall and fall while the nose keeps pointing above the horizon with almost no possibility to point it down and recover.

That looks like the second to the last frame of the Lego version of WW2.

Last would be the Lego-Japanese High Command singing the surrender documents on the Lego-Missouri.

Hey Hitech, this is a valid request. Sort the Mossie please. It doesn't deserve to be so lame. It was a fine aircraft, the AH version is a pale imitation.

Like the new cockpits for the P38 though!
