Mossies

[Scherf]

Kis don't bother me too much, to my surprise. Only 109 that gives me grief is the F. I generally fare badly against Corsairs, though tripp was flying one when he contributed my sig.

I'm pretty sure I've killed every mossie I have encountered while flying a 110.

Mossies aren't too accuratley built honestly. I'm against pretty much anything RAF but I do have sympathy for pilots, I fly the P-47 often which is more rugged, better performing, better turning radius (I think), and slightly greater fire power and climb rate. I think the P-47 should have the paddle prop etc etc. However the mossie needs an update and more variants IMO.

Also  to all veterans who have served, heard the news that WWII vets are dying at a rate of 740 a day.

Funny.  My K/D ratio against Bf110s while flying the Mossie is hundreds to one.  Bf110s are at a heavy disadvantage against the Mossie due to their slower speed and poorer climb rate.

In my experience the Mossie out turns any P-47, has more "damage points", but being larger takes more hits.  Firepowerwise is a split.  The P-47 when ladeled with bombs does more damage to ground targets, though it handles the ordnance much poorer than the Mossie handles its 2,000lbs.  Gunswise the Mosquito has about thirteen .50 cals worth of firepower, all centerline.  Climb rates of the Mk VI, P-47M and P-47N are similar at low alts. Obviously the P-47s dominate at higher alts.

You see a lot of Spitfires, N1Ks, F4Us, P-38s and Ki-84s as well.

Granted, an Fw190D-9 and a Spitfire Mk XVI on you is a really, really nasty situation.


At least the Mossie has fuel and firepower going for it.

Or just an experienced D-9.  (I <3 wood)

[Plazus]

The Mossie is some good stuff.

Where can I view these stats?

Where can I view these stats?

I have been generated some of them and have them on a spread sheet on my computer.  The turning bit is simply my experience with P-47s, if I get in a turn fight with them I win.

Karnak, to be fair, there are less 110 pilots that are skilled enough to match your caliber. Yeah, I can slaughter 110 pilots who don't have the expierience to use the plane competently in the fighter role, but I can also do that in a 109F, or even an E given some alt to turn into speed.

The 110 is like flying a rock to me compared to the Mossie. It doesnt even dive or roll well. All it has is lots of guns and bombs and most of it success was when dar was 200' and used in NOE missions. Other then that a 110 coming in is a 110 dead. With the Mossie I at least feel like I have a chance. Also 4 Hispanos in the mose IS the ultimate ATA gun package.

[icepac]

Care to put that theory to the test?

[SmokinLoon]

Care to put that theory to the test?

lemme guess... you want to have a Mexican stand off???

The point is, do you want your knockout punch from Holyfield or Tyson?  Holyfield does it all better than Tyson with exception to the raw power category (dmg/sec and deliverable damage available), and even then the stats are too close.   

[icepac]

Dang that voice of reason.

You are correct so it's best I just check my stats at the end of the tour.

I'll post them at this thread whether good or bad stats.

This and the 110 is a really unstable platform...mossie is a way smoother plane to fly.

[Tank-Ace]

Juggler would argue a point. Hes actually pretty good in a 110.
