I love the new mossie as well. She seems to handle way better under stress conditions; such as low speed/stall speed control, and extreme high speeds as well.

Other than a slight dip in MIL power at 5,000ft the Mosquito is improved in every way.  The guns are exactly the same, except they are attached to a much better shooting platform.

You can dive it beyond 500 TAS now without losing parts. Did a dive test and lost ailerons at 546 TAS at @ 1.6k alt, in the old Mossie it would have lost its elevs before that. I am also impressed with its new handling at slow speeds and overall stability, you can stall it nose high and it doesn't just drop backwards anymore like a stone. Feels much better and balanced out. Speeds at WEP, already covered.  :aok from me.

The Mossie has a positive K/D ratio for the first time that I have ever seen:

Mosquito Mk VI:    Kills: 2051    Deaths: 1904     Kill/Death Ratio: 1.08

That would rather spoil the K/D ratio. The Mossie can now bug out of critical situations with ease, thanks to the improved accleration and topspeed under WEP.
Also the improved elevator authority at low and medium speeds make her a better killiing machine in dogfights. I think the numbers will keep improving, once the word has spread.
