Aces High Plane Preview: Mosquito B.XVI

[Plazus]

you really think you'll be seeing any enemy cons over a base with a furball that high up??? no i doubt there will be many there. and seeing as how very few cons will intercept co alt, the mossi has no real threat if flown properly at all... and how many times have you seen any cons on your six with the 234 if you fly that right also?

I have flown the 234 many times in the past- mainly when winging up with Spikes. When I fly the 234, I deliberately put enemies on my six so I can shoot 'em. I rarely, if ever, use them for bombing.

It's not really a question of whether someone wants to intercept a Mossie. It's whether it will unbalance the game. That is what the perk system is for- game balance.

It would make no sense to perk it.  Let folks see how the ungunned Mossie works.

im not saying go nuts with the perk. obviously it only can defend itself with speed. but when used optimally, it is near unstoppable by any enemy lower than it just like the AR234 BOMBERRRRRRR...

I just hope there's a HUGE mission of them so I can up a jet and start killen them .

With the Mossi at altitude and speed, even being in a jet it will be hard to intercept. Only thing that will be close catching it is a 163. Unless (as pointed out before) you position yourself a head of time for a intercept.

It can and will be caught by the P-47M which thrives at 30K feet.

Yup.....if the P-47 is already up there when it encounters the Mossie.  If the P-47 has to climb up there first, not so much as the Mossie will be long gone before the P-47 matches altitude.

i stand by my previous statement 

[SmokinLoon]

I see this being used a lot when enemy gv's attack and there are no enemy air cons nearby.    

Many of you blokes need to relax and wait for when it arrives.  Some of you have already made up your mind and you've not even flown it.  Wait.   

[IrishOne]

 

   and you've not even flown it. 

and i never will

If it has a similar maneuverability like our current Mossie MK6 has (sans bombs of course), it will either fly circles around any plane that can catch it at that altitude, or at least will be able to put up a tough fight. Yes, your bomb run will be spoiled, but chances of survival are still good, as long as you have formations disabled.

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses... HIT IT.
