Requested many times...but here we go again.

A revamped flight model Mosquito minus the flame dampener would be a great addition.  :)  Also a bomber variant would be handy...no drones though.

Yes, it was solid shot.

Think it had 980m/s muzzle velocity (going from memory here, caveat emptor).

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

What scherf said.

It was a 6pdr anti tank gun (57mm) they put in the nose, made for punching holes in U-boats pressure hulls and ships, can imagine it would have been pretty devastating to tanks too :)

This should be done, the MOSS is just an' absolute pig.
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

the mossie as it is now is hindered by its handeling and flight model.

but if you take the time to learn it  u can wipe the smile off many a enemys face.

We need another plane updated maybe this or the hurricane

I'd love to see the Mossie brought up to AH2's standards, but I wouldn't hold my breath for much of a performance boost.

Very true.  This is a capable fighter when you learn to balance it on the edge of a stall and keep it vertical like a 38.  Flap usage is essential and when mixed with vertical moves you can get the better of superior planes.  700 cannon rounds are nice too. :t

edit:  It does need updated.

You can learn to use it... but it is crippled when trying to ride the edge like you can in other planes by the CoG bug.

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.

ya the mossie seems to be fairly mis-represented in AH.  on the positive side it does burn long enough to RTB from a 1/4 sector out though.

The last tour I flew before deploying to Iraq, tour 83, I had 59 kills and only 12 deaths in the Mossie. The current Mossie is a monster... if flown right. 1 sortie alone I land 9 air to air kills, 6 buffs and 3 fighters. I say leave the mossie alone and spend time on that P61! :D

Fixing the CoG and A6m's damage model is 90% of the performance boost it needs. Taking the exhaust dumpeners off is just the cherry on top.

To me, taking off the exhaust dampeners is a must.  Not sure why it was even modeled with them, as it provides no benefit in game and just ends up making the Mossie a plane you fly just because you want to fly a Mossie...rather than because it has a unique ability.  Without the Mossie's speed, it ends up just being fodder....fodder with a broken FM.
