i would like to see in the game a proper mosquito bomber with glass nose and bomb site,not a damped down one but a proper one with its true speed and ability,be great to have a formation of these fast bombers hiting targets

Im with you on this, a mkXVI would be my prefence as it carries the 4000lb bomb. A mk IV can only carry 2000lbs, and there a lot of jabos that can do that more effectively.

Well we got jabo lancs, why not a mosq w/4000lb bomb load???

No seriously, would be neat!:aok

A mossie bomber would be nice, it would be the only bomber i would fly. I would even escort mossie bombers in a FB mossie.

anyone think a Mossie bomber can survive in a arena of LA7s 190s P51s 109g-10s with no weapons to defend itself

and i think those planes in the list are faster then this plane

tho i do realy want this plane in AH

i 2nd this!

btw it should ve VERY EASY to make, like yak-9T to yak-9M, mossie bomber should be very eeeasy. Just tweak the weight and speed

If your cruisin 15-20k(I know it's rare:)) then all but the fastest Hi alt fighters wouldn't catch you if they have to any sort of climb. Unlike our lumbering bombers now, the mossie would be well outta dodge by the time said fighters got to you. Heck, even coalt it would turn into a decent run down.

Mossies in AH can out-dive yaks. I think it would be fine against an arena of LAs, 51s, 190s et all.

The trick/challenge becomes getting to the target without getting intercepted.

Back in AW the Mossie had no guns and it was always fun to try and 'defeat' the map by missing the flak traps and fighter alleys while getting to the target, usually on the deck.

I have been flying the Mossie the past few days in a row now. I have found I am really impressed with it's speed. As a bomber up high, I think it would give AH a run for it's money. It doesnt pack much punch but it's speed with help keep it alive without question. Anything over 15K an LA-7 doesnt have a chance in hell at catching it. A pony could catch it, so could a 190, but it would take them quite awhile if they found themselves lower than the Mossie. It would also take quite a bit of target fixation. Which as we all know gets you killed pretty quick.

Mossie did too have the full gun package in AW. What's more, with full (4x500-internal) eggs, fuel and ammo, this bird could do 350 mph at 25k without wep. I'm not sure an unarmed version toting a 4k bomb could do that, but "we shall see". This version would be great for doing diversion raids as it often did on Berlin during the real war.

Man I love to see a mossy bomber. I think it would be a great plane fly. I'll look in my book to see how fast it can go.

pretty sure aw mossie didnt have guns package.
at least not till aw2 or 3

It would be almost as fast as the Arado, with much quicker takeoff and climb. Depends on the load really.
A group of 3 would be a terror, say alone if there's a half-NOE raid carrying 4000lb's for a town hit

A bomber version would be nice to have. If it flies up high it would be very hard to intercept from below or even co-alt for a lot of planes.

Given the above and with a 4000lb bomb load it would become a dweeb suicide plane. Especially since it has no guns, after release you can only run away, no playing ack-star. In this case, you might as well auger, some people would rationalize.

Therefore, formation should be disabled for this one.
