i'd still love to see it updated to AH2 graphics standards and have a few more versions added, namely the mk4 and mk16 (early and late level bombers, both produced in huge numbers)

the mossie 16 would make an excellent low perk bomber IMHO, provided it could carry the 4000lb cookie bomb, and formations were enabled (it is a proper level bomber)

Bomber mossies would be great, but having formations would make it a total dweeb, base porkers, suiciders dream. Especially with the laser guided bombs accuracy.

Agreed. I don't think they had bombsights, even. They shouldn't get formations any more than the Val should.

They had bombsights.

Once the bomb run would start the navigator would crwl into the nose and operate the bombsight.

Cool. I wasn't sure. I know the Pe2 also has a window like that, but it's to allow the pilot to dive bomb and see his target, not to aim.

As you can see in that photo, the pilot wouldn't be able to see out of the nose. The "door" is on the navigator's side of the cockpit.

EDIT:

You can see in our Mosquito VI's cockpit where the door would be if you go to mouse look and look down and to the right. On the Mk VI there is a panel covering it as the nose is full of guns and ammunition.
