I don't know about that Krusty.  It would still take a couple of minutes for the 163s to reach 27,000ft and a lot of ground can be covered at 416mph in two minutes.  Also as that one Mossie vs Me262 photo and story I've posted shows, you can dodge successfully.


MiloMorai,

There is also a fuselage tank above the bomb bay/cannon bay.

I can't remember ever having a wing catch fire on my Mossie in AH.  At least not visually.

It is always the fuselage.

Many thanks for the piccy!! I have seen this piccy in my copy of the Osprey Mossie Bomber book. I unfortunately never had the privelige of meeting him as he passed away when i was only 1 or 2 years old. He ultimately reached the rank of Air Commodore, was knighted, and was the Governor of Western Australia. Whenever I go to the Australian War Memorial and see his medals I always get a tear in my eye.

Depends... the B.35 was pressurised and could bomb from 40k...  40k at over 400mph takes some catching.

"Imagine a HQ run with formations of mossies"

That is probably one reason why we do not have a bomber version in game.

I'd like to have a glass nose Mossie, though.

Why no formations?  They did at times use formations and formations are a selectable option.

Quite some time ago I posted my suggestions for a complete Spitfire lineup for Aces High.  That post lead to vigorous debate and lots of suggestions by well informed members of this board and was successful beyond my hopes.

Mosquito FB.Mk VI Series ii: (Merlin 25 at +18lbs boost) Day and night fighter-bomber/intruder/long range fighter.  First production aircraft flew February, 1943.  Four 20mm Hispano Mk II cannon and four .303 inch Browning machine guns in the nose.  Two 250lb or 500lb bombs in the rear bomb bay and two 250lb or 500lb bombs on wing racks, or four 60lb rockets under each wing, or one mine or depth charge under each wing and combinations of drop tanks and offensive weapons.

Note: This is the Mosquito we have in Aces High now.


This is interesting I cannot reach +18 boost with our version.I can get +9 and +14(wep) at sea level.
At 15000 ft I can get +9 and +16(wep)
Now this is getting interesting which i must ask is our version the
FB Mk VI HJ.679?
or FB Mk VI HX.809? I ask this because
 The Mark VI had a strengthened wing for external loads and along with its standard fighter armament could carry two 250 lb bombs in the rear of the bomb bay and two 250 lb bombs under the wings, or eight wing-mounted rockets. Later up-engined versions could carry 500 lb bombs.
Now if it is the later can we assume this because it carries the 500 lb bomb ?

The gauges follow Merlin 21 parameters.  The performance follows Merlin 25 with flame damper parameters.  Essentially we have a Merlin 25 Mosquito Mk VI running at +18lbs boost on WEP.
