Remember that it has the same low blown Merlin 25s that the Mosquito Mk VI has.

It handles better with no guns.  It's easier to get on someone's 6 this way.

Odds are they won't notice you're not flying with guns.

Other than the icon directly giving away the fact that it doesnt have guns, sure I bet they wont notice :rolleyes:

Now I don't always dogfight in a mossie, but when I do i prefer the one with the guns. :D

Well, not really.  In AH it would be strictly an anti-tank aircraft, and at that it would likely be the best in the game against the tougher tanks.

It would also be tougher, faster and more maneuverable than the Me410.

Someone hand me a fish so I can hit him along side his head....  Do NOT insult the Mossi or the British like that again.    ;)

Also... keep in mind the differences in ammo fired between the two: the Me410 we have as the 50mm armed with HE and not AP, while the 57mm on the Tse Tse (which is a huge fly known for its bite from Africa, btw), is armed with AP for use in the anti-shipping/anti-submarine role, iirc.

A complete pig that could barely fly.

You know, you don't need to toejam on every wishlist post for a non-German unit with your incessant demands for only German units to be added.

Better gun than the 57mm. Unless the tse-tse used APDS rounds, anyway, althoug I've never heard of it using them.

Depending on how hard-hitting they model the 57mm rounds (look at how the 37mm rounds for the BK 37 were), the Hs 129 would be a more effective tank-buster, particularly against heavyily armored units like the Tiger I and II, or the IS-2 if we ever get it.


We're talking like 82mm of penetration vs 136mm. Thats a big difference.
