Whatever you all say, you're lying.
I know from personal experience that everybody (and I mean everybody) goes for the Mossie first.
There is just something about a Mossie that draws people towards it. There is nothing quite so desparately doomed as a Mossie with a bunch of La-7s, P-51Ds, Typhoons and Bf109s after it.
Who knows, maybe its the huge assed MOSS icon that draws notice. Maybe its the fact that its big and rare. Who knows.
