How goes, thrila? What news of Her Majesty's fleet?

Hi scherf, it's going well thanks.  I'm heading up to yeovilton for flight grading soon, to see if have what it takes to continue training, so fingers crossed.

Yeah mate, good luck.

I think there's an FAA museum in Yeovilton too? Can remember going there "when oi were a lad, arrrrr."

Anyway, good luck again.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

On another thought, Pyro had stated that the mossie is being completely redone. Are we going to see a change in how the mossie can fight low and slow? I realize the plane isnt designed for it, but would it be more capable? And what about the center of gravity? Will the mossie have more gentler stall characteristics?

We won't know until we get our hands on it.  I imagine several of us will be putting it through its paces as though it were a new aircraft when it is released.  We should have date soon after release.

Will the pilot move around like they do in the WWI aircraft?

I hope not! The flight model is just fine for me. All I am looking forward to is more speed and better graphics. As Karnak says a few of us will certainly be submitting reviews once it is released  :joystick:
