Mosquitoes

My wish is that the mossies get an update fairly soon... update the mk 6 we have currently, and add the mk 4 bomber (earlier war, level bomber, which would be really great, especially if formations are enabled, as it is not an attack ride), and add the mk 16, later war variant with amazing speed and bombload, perhaps a slight perk. i would also love to see a slight change in the flight model too. as it is the mossie's handling seems totally crazy at low speed, and the torque and flatspins seem a little dodgy...

while i'm not sure how HTC are going about the order of 'refits', the mossies would be great to do for CT, running alongside the 8th airforce campaign in the same timeframe and theatre, they would be a logical addition to the planeset, as would the lancasters if there's time or need.

oh how i'd love to zip around in a formation of mossies :) please??

I would love to see bomber mossies added.

I am not sure formations would be such a good idea though. It would become the ultimate pork and auger + CV kamikaza plane. Also, without a gunner, if it is caught by a fighter, the only defense is manuvering - giving instant 2 kills on the drones as they detonate.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

well bozon, that's the point, they were fast. divebomb tards will die quickly, while people who fly them properly are very unlikely to be caught. i don't see why they would become the ultimate pork and auger plane, but the mossies were groud attack plane as well as level bombers. infact, if any bomber was added to AH, the mossie would be the most qualified for low level attacks.

for people that take their time and climb however, they are unlikely to be caught, as interceptors will not be able to climb up to them in time to catch them... just like real life

and PLEASE HT, fix the centre of gravity glitch that produces the insane and impossible stalls and spins.
