I'm still at work.

Surely it's "better" (even if not perfect)?

Re-positioned weights, re-mapped damage, right? No more single ping fireballs? Right? :confused: Might have some spin issues, but so does the 38 and the spit1 and the ta152.

Is it still "crappy"?

No - not crappy as such.  Smoother at higher speeds.  Shame is that bits start falling off at about 440.  Ailerons are apparently only taped on.

Edit: bits falling off seems controversial.  Some guys saying 440 some say 480 some say not even at 500.  Mine have been falling off from La7s etc not speed.

Pilot wounds seem to be the go from the talk, but its not a flying bbq.

I took one up to 12k, pulled into a snap and spun all the way down.  Power, controls, flaps all make no diff.  I didn't try differential engine power.  Might be worth a try.

Why no pilot armor still? I noticed no diff at all in that regard. Pow, PW, pow, PK.

Can't comment on pilot armor, but I've never seen the Mossie as special in that regard.  All twin engined fighters in AH seem excessively prone to pilot wounds.

The flame dampers are still on, I topped out at 338mph on the deck with 50% fuel.

The handling is massively more benign.  I was able to pull over the top, shuddering on the edge, and not enter a death fall.

i think the wound debate may be caused that any damage to the pilot hitzone produces a blackout effect untill death from blood loss.

surely the vast majority of those would be light shrapnel wounds or deflections off metal surfaces, and even if proving eventualy fatal, not capable of causing such rapid and frequent blackouts.


but then its a game, so.... we know the rest.

I can't agree with this.  Every plane will spin at some point but the old mossie would always spin if u pulled back on the stick whilst incorporating a slight right or left turn.  That was my first test and the new mossie handled it.  Seems a lot better now with regards to spin and handles ack hits without the fire ball.

Shame the bloody damper doodar thingy- me-gig is still on it.  Whats the point of a night fighter without night time?  Would love a full power version even if they put 30 perkies on it.

I will do some more testing.  I spun down 12,000 feet and could do nothing at all to even slow it.  I pulled it into the spin in a high speed stall.  It wasn't the spitfire aft cg nonsense type thing.  Fairly ordinary spin, completely unrecoverable using all normal techniques.
