This is a Gameplay Feedback request to fix the mossie.
The main thing for me that needs fixing is the 1 Hit set on fire bull poop!!! i have never heard of mosquito's being susceptible to fire more than any other aircraft, in fact, the cannon rounds from AA / other aircraft often passed straight through the Mossie.
For a plane that was judged to be so superior to the Bf110... why is it so inferior? why is the stall so violent? why does it rock side to side after takeoff (auto takeoff) ?
-
whaaa.
heheh..you sure were whinning alot in MA tonight...
btw..i dotn really fly mossi much..seems fine to me..but i understnad that special limey feeling you have; )

Had a 'mare tonight. Died more times i think in a fighter than the whole tour combined, got vulched landing, got rammed, got killed by invisible gv's because i didnt have ground vis range on, nothing was going my way!!
But towards the end of the night it all got better, had an absolute beauty of a furball going at that island base in the NW, was so much fun. :)

where is he anyway? he get fired from McDonalds and cant afford AH no more?

I don't know how the real one flew but this one seems really unstable to me. It goes into a spin way easy as well bouncing and rocking all over kindom come with control inputs. It's like its on rubber bands compared to a lot of other birds. Try hitting the rudder and watch it wobble all over the place. I can't imagine how thats possible at 300mph.
-
The Mossie very very rarely caught fire despite being made of wood.
Yup the FM seems way off on it.
-
Agreed, the Mossie is probably the lamest duck in the pack right now. Granted, its not supposed to compete vs the late war stuff like the LGay7, P51, and D9 but I'd swear alot more stuff catch it than are supposed to. Add that to the fact it is like a hurricane lamp- glass and bursts into flames when broken- and its not worth flying.
Real sad when compared to what their historical counter-parts did.
-
I agree, the "flaming mo" needs to be fixed.
As for the flight model. It "feels" as if the mossie has a problem with its center-of-gravity set too far back. when flying slow and heavy the tail really feels like it pulls you down.
This would also explain the mossie tendency to stall and fall while the nose keeps pointing above the horizon with almost no possibility to point it down and recover.

It has all these problems, yet for some strange reason i still fly the sodding thing.:)

That looks like the second to the last frame of the Lego version of WW2.
Last would be the Lego-Japanese High Command singing the surrender documents on the Lego-Missouri.

Hey Hitech, this is a valid request. Sort the Mossie please. It doesn't deserve to be so lame. It was a fine aircraft, the AH version is a pale imitation.
Like the new cockpits for the P38 though!

yeah!

And while fixing the flames, add the 4,000 lb 'block-buster' bomb.
(I know, it wasn't available in the FB model. So ok, add the bomber version....)

put an american skin on it and it will automatically be able to have an extra 2 x 1k bombs and 10 rockets ;) :D

Hang on why am I laughing!:(

We need the STRICTLY bomber version of moss. i think the early moss can outrun any fighter except the big 5 :)

Why do you think that? A Mosquito B.Mk IV would be no faster, and slower at low altitude, than our Mosquito FB.Mk VI.
-
Wasn't the BIV faster at high alts?
One of the reasons the LW awarded 2 kills for a single Mossie kill.
Rough est -
Mk IV - 386mph
Mk VI - 362mph
Later Mks 400+ e.g. Mk16 415mph

That was for a FB.Mk VI with the same 1,230hp Merlin 21 engines as the B.Mk IV. Our FB.Mk VI has the much more common 1,635hp Merlin 25s. The B.Mk IV might be very slightly faster at it's best altitude, but not nearly fast enough to put it out of danger from all but the top 5 fastest fighters.
La-7: 416mph
P-51D: 437mph
Bf109G-10: 452mph
Fw190D-9 427mph
Typhoon Mk Ib: 416mph
P-38J: 419mph
P-38L: 414mph
P-47D-40: ~425mph
P-47D-25: ~420mph
P-47D-11: ~420mph
P-51B: 442mph
F4U-1: 415+mph
F4U-1D: 425+ mph
Spitfire Mk IX: 410mph
Fw190A-8: 416mph
Fw190A-5: 416mph
Ki-84: 392mph
C.205: ~390mph
Bf109G-2: 402mph
Bf109F-4: ~390mph

I'm one of the newest fans of the Mossie in AH. I enjoy the plane a lot; hope it is one of the first to get re-designed by the HTC team.
Agreed...let's have a bomber version - with drones. :)
