Cheers mate.


 I did some extensive research on the six mossies and have not come to anything concrete about their demise. I did find out about a few He219 pilots that were successful in obtaining 2 digit kills in the Owl, however some were shot down multiple times while flying the plane.

I think the He 219 is good (think of one thing that the Germans don`t do good) but Me 410 can do a heck of alot more. Lets just say if they add the 410 I will be the happiest man alive.    :D  :D

This thread goes into some detail on the 410 and 219. It's pretty clear the He 219 did 360 mph at military power. WEP speed is still unknown, but it would obviously have been more.

With no anntennae or flame dampers.
... 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

Does anyone have pics or video of the WWII NF radars in use? I've been looking as a side interest for months, so far the closest I've gotten is an accurate description of a number of different types of American radar scopes (A Scope, B Scope, ect). I also saw some of the British bomber kits, like the H2S, which was used to show what was on the ground. Cities showed up as bright patches of light. Due to the way that the display worked, a later add-on called fishpond was made that showed the returns that were not displayed as the ground, such as the relatively stable blips of the other bombers and, more importantly, fast moving German night fighters. I'm quite curious as to how the German sets worked. I always laugh when I read about how German NF crews shat bricks whenever they flew at a cloud of Window, as it reflected the speed they were approaching it at, giving them outrageous velocity readings.

And I REALLY wanna see how the NF262 was operated.


Also, I'm just saying here, that maybe the mossie kills were bombers or pathfinders, rather than night fighters.

Of course they were bombers or pathfinders.  The losses posted earlier in this thread were Bomber Command Mossie losses.

i would much prefer to see the 410 added, it reminds me of the mossie. Great looking a/c
