nice !

I want the fast level bombing version with the bombsights.

I want the fast level bombing version with the bombsights.

Would be very nice to see the Mk IV and/or Mk XVI.  The Mk XVI would, in particular, have a role in the MA as a very fast 'cookie' delivery system, though it would likely be lightly perked.

[Kazaa]

I have no inside information.  I am merely suggesting it is possible.  B.IV would be nice for scenarios and B.XVI would be nice for the MA and scenarios.
The Tempest's stats don't indicate it needs any help in the performance department.   

We should have both versions ofc.

Looks very very nice Superfly!

I see the flame dampeners have been removed.

^^^   this and   57  molins tse tse!!

Not sure, but I think the outer exhaust stubs should have six stacks while the inner ones have five as shown.  I'll check my references when I get home about 00:15 Texas time.

Having examined my sources five stacks on each side is accurate.  Now that I think about it more, I seem to recall having read that they could be found with either, though all of the Mk VI photos I looked at tonight had either five stacks or flame dampers.

 Heh, just saw the news.

 Congrats Karnak, finally got a new Mossy on the way!

 Well deserved one, too.

 

[bozon]

YES!

Thank you HTC 

[Karnak]

For those expecting it to be a P-51D because its flame dampers have been removed are going to be disappointed, but it should be a bit faster, yes. Nice to see this great a/c being redone.  

No, not a P-51, but it would be the difference between outrunning a Spitfire Mk XVI and being outrun by a Spitfire Mk XVI, which isn't a bad change.  Actually, 15mph would halve the speed difference on the deck between the Mosquito VI and the P-51D.

[Karnak]

Looking obsessively close, as you guys at HTC know that some of us are prone to doing, it looks like the engine nacelles might be a bit too long or the ejector stacks a bit to far forward or the ejector stacks a bit too small.

Here is the best shot of the new Mosquito Mk VI showing the stacks on the inside of the nacelle:


Here is a photo showing the inner stacks on a Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII, which was built on the FB.Mk VI's airframe with no changes to the wings or engine positions:


Notice how much closer to the radiator the stacks are in the photo.  It was the radiator that prevented six stack ejectors being used on single stage Merlin powered Mosquitoes for that reason.

great now all these dweebs are gonna be using MY mossie just because its pretty now.

beware the dweeb ho mossies!

[stealth]

Well what are all the differences compared to the Mossie that we already have in the game.

AH2 graphics instead of AH1 graphics.  Possibly 8-15mph faster depending on altitude if the flight model is changed to match the graphical switch from flame dampers to ejector stacks.

Karnak, re the nacelle length.. It appears to me that the exhaust stubs as shown in the picture are the same distance from the coolers as HTC has modeled it. Its the outside stack that makes it look wrong. (Or I could be wrong, always a possibility)
