so sad takeing off,and looking UP at a moss goin' by at 280mph and the first thing that comes to mind is "all i gotta do is pull up,and shoot"

Heck id rather take a A20 into battle knowing good an' well i would only survive one pass till i blow up. :huh



Dont know what to say to this but the mossie is far from a "pig" very far.
I have advocated the flame dampeners being removed for some time now and I hope it does happen.

yes the mosquito is an absolute dream (in real life). dives well, has relatively good zoom climbs at different speeds. flaps aren't the Britons' regular, crappy split flaps - wing loading is better than a P-38's... we need it fixed... i find it just terrifying to look at the cockpit.. nothing like the real thing.

kinda ironic ... i work in a museum that used to produce the Mosquito Mk.XX and here we are, with NO mossie... ><

If they give us one more darn Spitfire variant before fixing the Mossie, I'll be all :furious :mad: :furious .


Seriously, such an iconic plane should be given its due.  IMO one variant for each of the MAs would be most appropriate.:aok

Was reading this thread and was about to say Thrila has no problems killing in it but he posted....

Furball that was the last book I read was an interesting insight of a luftweenie making excuses for this and that and how Germany could have done things different.  

Wasn't really a personal account of how he dealt with the war rather how the luftwaffe coped with unsurmountable odds and still achieved wonderous feats.  If anyone was planning on getting this book don't pay for it get it free somewhere and read it when you have nothing better to do.

I would love them to add maybe 2 more mossie variants.  The bomber variant that carried 6 bombs with no guns at all.  Superfast, great climb.  The Tse tse for killing some tanks.  

Also add a 8rocket / 2 bomb ord loadout option.  Also some rockets for the Tiffie please!

High speed high altitude bombing. Great alternative to the lumbering Lancs, B17s and B24s.

High speed low altitude hit and run - what a great mission!

The Mossie is seriously lacking.

Take off in a mossie on autoclimb on WEP and watch it snake through the sky as if it is a pendulum.

Then try snaprolling it at any speed and be amazed at the ability to stop midair and cartwheel out of the sky.


Or try to strafe gv's at anything more than a 20 degree angle.. Pull up hard and you're finnished..

I would fly the Mosquito SO MUCH more if it didnt spin so ridiculously out of control all the time..

I'll post a moqsuito picture every time this thread falls to the second page until the mossie is fixed.

I'll start with an Israeli mosquito! First single type equiped squadron in the IAF iirc, and we got it from the French. Yes, they loved us back then. :D

Would those bouncing bombs have had an effect on FHs? That would be a cool mission.
