Just recently I found something supporting HTC's climb rate for the Mossie.

It had always been higher than anything I'd seen data for. Much, much higher.

But in my meltdown "debate" with Viking I came across the tactical trials of the Mosquito VI's on http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/. The concusion was that it really wasn't useful in the pure fighter role, but at the end it had a foot note of the tests done after the fact on the Merlin 25 Mosquito VI:

6. The climb has also improved considerable at full power so that the Mosquito can pull up from low level into cloud 2,000 ft. about it in less than 30 secnds from fast cruising. Near the ground the rate was approximatedly 3,800 ft. per minute in a steady climb.

It also mentions that it would outrun a Spitfire XII.

OK guys. Your dive bombing with a mossie, a 110, and A-20...ect and all of a sudden a 109 or spit is on you. You cant outturn it and you cant outrun it. Whats the plan?..............Thanks......... ...Rich

Bf110 or A-20, hot pilot **** or die.

Mosquito, dive and run, hot pilot **** or die.

Mossie dives VERY well and I've outrun many a Spit or Bf109 in AH.

If you read that tactical trial I linked you'll see that the Merlin 25 Mosquito FB.Mk VI was able to outrun a Spitfire Mk XII when the Mosquito was at 250mph and low level and the Spitfire had done a short dive if the Mosquito crew saw the Spitfire by 1000 yards out. The Mosquito would be able to accelerate to a speed faster than the Spitfire before the Spitfire gained effective firing range.

It just occurred to me, that if they're going to the trouble of updating the mossie's bugs then they'd probably updating the graphics and adding a few extra Marks?

Is that a reasonable expectation??

Tks for the link Roger.

Ciao

FTJR,

I'd be surprised if that were the case. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised.

My bet is the CoG issue is fixed.

Why wouldn't they do a graphic update? thats been SOP since version 2.

I'll be happy if they just give us the MKVI, fixed, with the AH2 graph update. Thats all I want, anything past that is gravy.

Squire,

I am sure they will eventually, but I don't think this is the patch for it.

I am hoping I'm wrong though.

Well, considering the time new version's taking.... I won't be surprised if we get a completely redone Mossie.

That would be as sweet as your avatar.

Lol, thanks! But say thank you to Sketch, he sent it to me.

If anyone remembers the pic I posted that I was left by a relative who was in the Banff Strike Wing, of the Molins firing at a ship. That streaking shell in the bottom centre flying towards the target is good enough reason to have the MKXVIII. Slobber. As long as it was modeled well.

Anyway, here's one of my original and extremely rare pics depicting the above mentioned. The damage being done to this German ship is self evident. Bear in mind that there being so few Tsetse Mossies, not a great number of pictures of this type seem to be in circulation.
