There are three version of the Mosquito that I would like to see added in the future:
Mosquito B.Mk IV Series 2
The Mosquito B.Mk IV was the first Mossie bomber. It could carry four 500lb bombs internally and had a top speed of 380mph. Like all Mosquito bombers it had no defensive guns at all, relying only on speed for defense. The Mosquito B.Mk IV entered service in May, 1942. 234 Mosquito B.Mk IVs were built, 203 of them being Series 2.
Graphically the Mosquito Mk VI we have is very similar. The Mosquito B.Mk IV would need a glass nose added with the bombardier position modeled (that's the biggest change) and the single pane flat windscreen of the Mk VI replaced with a two pane, V shaped windscreen.
Engines: 2 × Rolls Royce Merlin 21 or 23, rated at 1,480hp
Weights: Empty 14,900lb; Operational 22,380lb max
Dimensions: Length 41ft 2in; Wing Span 54ft 2in; Height 17ft 5in
Speed: 380mph at 17,000ft
Climb: Initial climb rate 2,500ft per min; Climb to 28,800 ft in 22min 38sec
Ceiling: 34,000ft
Range: 2,040 miles
Armament: Nil
Ordanance: Up to 2,000 lb max, all internal: 2 × 1,000lb; 1 × 1,000 lb + 2 × 500 or 2 × 250 lb; 4 × 500 lb
Mosquito B.Mk XVI
The Mosquito B.Mk XVI is the definative Mosquito bomber. Able to carry a 4,000lb "Cookie" at a speed of 419mph and an altitude of 28,500ft it was nigh uninterceptable to the Luftwaffe. The Mosquito B.Mk XVI also had counter rotating props to eliminate torque. The Mosquito B.Mk XIV had two stage superchargers and was preasurized for high altitude work. The Mosquito B.Mk XVI entered service in March, 1944. 1,200 Mosquito B.Mk XVIs were built.
The graphical changes required for the Mosquito B.Mk XVI are more substantial than those of the B.Mk IV. All the changed of the B.Mk IV would be required, plus bulging the bomb bay and lengthening the tail. The Mosquito B.Mk XVI might need to be a perk bomber, I think it would others think differently.
Engines: Rolls Royce Merlin 76 (starboard) / 77 (port), rated at 1,710hp
Weights: Empty weight 15,250lb; Operational weight 26,000lb max
Dimensions: Length 44ft 6in; Wing Span 54ft 2in; Height 17ft 5in
Speed: 419mph 28,500ft
Climb: Initial climb rate 2,800ft per min
Ceiling: 37,000ft
Range: 1,485 miles
Armament: Nil
Ordanance: 1 x 4,000lb internal and 2 x 500lb under the wings; 4 x 500lb internal and 2 x 500lb under the wings
Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII
The Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII, or "TseTse", was a conversion of the Mosquito FB.Mk VI Series 2 (the exact aircraft we have in AH). In the conversion the fout Hisapno Mk II 20mm cannon are replaced by a single Mollins 6pdr 57mm cannon. The Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII entered service in October, 1943. 27 Mosquito FB.Mk XVIIIs were built.
The Mosquito FB.Mk XVIII would required the least mosifications to the 3D model for the AH Mosquito. The cannon barrel would need to be added, the bulge for the Mollins gun's firing mechanism added and the exhaust shroud dampers replaced by ejector stacks.
Engines: 2 × Rolls Royce Merlin 25, rated at 1625hp
