Mosquito vs Bf-110

[Squire]

At low speeds there does seem to be an odd CoG issue sometimes, and it can be nasty. I just try to practice and get used to its quirks.

Lets hope HTC gives the Mossie a full facelift and some corrections.
A few more variants wouldn't hurt also

Oh i love the mossie.  Reynolds, i wouldn't say  that the mossie handles like a dream but aslong as you stay in her  envelope she's fine.  I must have flown the mossie for atleast a year as my primary ride, aslong as you're aggressive kills come easily.

Compared to the 110?!? Your kidding. I stall the 110 all the time when attack, but not once in the mossie.

Thrila is undoubtly one of the best mossie pilots in game  

Reynolds try a 109 against his mossie in a 1 vs 1 and come back to me with the results.

Actually, my most hated moment in AH involved me in a 109 against a Mossie. I had 2 kills already, (Hit 2 guys vulching me on takeoff) and I chased a mossie down. Out flew him, and blew his tail clear off. But he held the trigger down (He was headed away from me) And one lucky shot hit my engine (WHILE HE WAS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL!!!) and I didnt have enough altitude and speed to rtb. I lost my two previous kills, didnt get a kill for him, and he got one on me!!! I still dont know how that one magic bullet arced up to me. He was in a nose dive with no tail. All his shots were hitting the ground, but one magical tracer got me. Ever since, even if its a clear kill, I always keep my distance.

I had an F4U-1C do that to my Spit V a long, long time ago (pre-perk system).  It bites whe it happens.

It's called "a bullet with your name on it"

(I wrote my name on one and I keep it in my drawer. Not likely there's two of them, hehe)

A month or two ago we had a Mossie v 110 event as the second frame of a snapshot.  Even numbers (think it was 9 or 10 each side) co-alt (about 10-15k) engagement.  All the Mossie's died, think 110's lost one or two.  Just a limited anecdote but sure seems the 110 (in AH) is superior.

Question about the "exhaust thrust" that several have mentioned.  It's been my understanding that the benefits of good exhaust design tend to be more related to improved extraction of the exhaust gases (improved engine efficiency) and, in many designs, use of the exhaust to extract cooling air from the cowling (reducing cooling drag) rather than actual thrust generated by the rearward ejection of the exhaust gases.  I have no doubt that there is some thrust provided but it seems that this would be very small in comparison to the improved efficiencies.  Is there any documentation of measured contribution (i.e., pounds of "thrust") generated by the gases as opposed to improved engine and cooling efficiency?  Just curious.

Yep, but it only ever happened once.
