Very cool video!  I haven't spent much time in Mossie's lately....  Think I may have to spend a tour in one...

Thanks

S! Dave. Just remember, if someone is foolish enough to open fire head-on and you can't avoid it, It's worth shooting back in this bird and also moraly justified :D

Upped a Mossie for the first time in quite awhile last night.  Only had time for one sortie before FSO, managed three kills before they got me.  I had forgotten how absolutely fantastic that gun package is!

Added (at long last) my CG table and chart stuff to the Mosquito page. Note that the All-Up-Weight links up to that stated on the MAP document (non-overload condition, no desert equipment).

Finally got to watch that one.  Very nice, makes me want to resubscribe and roll Mossies again.  Love watching Mossies destroy "superior" fighters.

My final sortie in AH was in a Mosquito, in which I downed, in sequence, an La-7, P-51D and Spitfire Mk VIII, all of which started with moderate to server E advantages on me.  I wish I'd filmed it.

Thank you Karnak, I'm happy to ignite those urges in someone. Sounds like you'll have quite an act to follow with that target line up. Perhaps when the new terrain comes along it might swing the balance for you.

I can sympathize with that. I am also on the sidelines due to lack of a computer that can run the game. I still watch some of my mosquito and P47 films and take a mossie to an occasional offline flight where occasional plunges of FPS to signle digits is not too bad. Such clips makes my fingers itch to reach for the wallet and buy a third computer just for AH... and then quit my job to have time to play...  :cry

I dunno - I'm considering spamming the board with photos of FB.VIs with ejector exhausts from various points in time.

All in an effort to get the bloody saxophone exhaust performance (night) replaced by ejector exhaust performance (day).

Sad, yes, I r teh sad.

Quite understandable.  The Mosquito in AH does not live up to its historical reputation, not even close to it.  If it were to be judged based on how it does in AH it would be seen as mediocre at best.  It is particularly silly that the dismal Bf110 is seen as such a better aircraft.

The reasons for this are varried, a few that stand out to me are:

  • Density of enemy aircraft coupled with the frequency of aircraft faster than the Mosquito
  • Performance modeled with flame dampers, shaving 10-15mph off of its top speed, the difference beween being slower than the Spitfire Mk XVI and faster than it, for example
  • Arbitrary building and ground structure durabilities that render the Mosquito's payload inadequate
