What a wonderful aircraft.

Check out the low alt one engined roll and 633 squadron footage :)

I wish they'd polish that one up and...sell it again!
She looks nifty, more agile than the one in AH.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The Mossi would be a great option for the next aircraft update. It is the best attack platform in the game and is no slouch as a fighter either. Give a face lift, dump the exhaust shrouds and notch up the top speed accordingly. Perhaps the Tse Tse cannon option too? :)

I don't think HTC are too keen on big bombs... The big cannon is probably a push as it is. I'd be happy with the nip 'n tuck on the visual model and exhaust shrouds

I just want to know one thing... Right around 3:00 you can see the pilot take his hand off the wheel for a second. How does he pick his nose with those thickbutt gloves on?  :D

Mosquitos are great! I love the fact that they sound like a wing pair of Ponies.  :aok

He doesn't do it himself.  That's what the navigator is there for.  :D

I just got a chance to watch that clip.... The Mossi really is a beautiful aircraft.

It desperately needs a face lift and day fighter spec!  :rock

The 4,000lb 'cookie' is already in game.  Having talked to Pyro a couple of years ago and brought up the Mossie, the B.Mk XVI is not out of the question, but would probably be a perk plane based on its performance.  Barring Me163s it would be very hard to intercept a 400+mph bomber flying at 25,000+ft and the 4,000lb bomb packs real damage.

How the hell could they perk a plane with NO defensive armament.
That would be insane and turn it into yet another hanger queen.

Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

It is faster than a laden Ar234 and carries a heavier warload.  In addition, remember that the Ar234 was perked and was unarmed for a long time.  I am sure it would be a low end perk bomber, but perked it must be.

Also consider the dweebishness and effect of having a fast, maneuverable aircraft that can handily carry a 4,000lb bomb on GVs.  If unperked kamikaze Mosquito B.Mk XVIs would be very, very common against GV attacks.
