Which squadron? Because to my knowledge the Sea Mossie was post war only...

Exactly, the wood construction was a major problem for the mossy in the Pacific - structure failure also was a major problem in '44 far as I know it was post war only.
The Wood construction had a huge problem with the Humid heat of the pacific, it plagued the Sea mossy until after the war.

+1 for the Tsetse :aok

Couldn't tell ya, the book I use (and wikipidia) don't have a squadron number

But even Wikipedia says postwar... "The first production TR.33 flew on 10 November 1945"

still 1945 the ME262 was very late war/post war and was still added

uhh Me-262 served during ww2 hence the name "First operational jet fighter"

Post war 262?
You realize that there was no "post war" production, development, or operations in Germany? ;)
And yes, there is a big difference between "late war" and "post war"

Sea Mosquito was post war.
Target tug isn't needed as we can shoot aircraft without consequences in AH.
I would like the Mk XVIII though.
-
His general theme is sound however. The RN was a huge CV player in WW2 and we only have one CV airplane made from Brit Industry. The Firefly would be a nice addition. The Barracuda is another consideration, "remember the Tirpitz". There was a late war model with an advanced Griffon engine, tho Im not sure what its operational history was. Tne Sea Hurricane MKllC another fine choice.
-
The Molins Mosquito looks like the most likly choice for addition.....
It would be a great Anti-tank plane
-
SeaHurricane IIB and IIC, Firefly, Barracuda would be interesting additions, however the RN didn't entirely exist in the Pacific theater until the later stages of WW2.
I do know the SeaHurri scored victories on quite a few theaters, Firefly did score limited victories in Borneo, Java.
-
Would love the Molins Mossie, not sure what I'd do in it though, other than fly about and yell "Bang!" very loudly.
Seriously, AH Mossie is a pw magnet, prolly not worth taking near gvs if you have to fly straight at them.
Would also like the NF.30, because it's fast up high, but one would be stretching the bounds of cartoon reality to include it as a high-alt day fighter. Low-alt daytime fighter bomber is perfectly legit for the VI, think we'd struggle to find a link to daylight use of the 30. Can cite a couple of examples, but both of those examples were at low level, and ended badly.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but how many of the planes in the game have you actually flown? Might want to expand your horizons a bit or even get really good in the Mossies we have.

I'd love to see the TseTse. Just make it score like a bomber so I can use it to generate bomber perks towards flying the XVI without the need to fly non mosquitoes.

It would be classified as attack like the B-25H.
-

Still generates bomber perk, unless the plane would be "fighter/attack" (unlike the B-25h)
-
It would be classified as attack like the B-25H.
If scored like the B-25H, it would have a scoring options for both attack and bombing.
ack-ack
-
they were converted from the FB.Mk VI and didnt carry bombs or have a bombsight, so they would really have to be scored as Fighter/Attack.

so how am I supposed to generate bomber perks to fly the mossie XVI?

You can fly the TBM :old:

that's not a bad idea. I can pretend that it is made of wood, has merlins instead of radials and not look at the air speed indicator. :)
