B Mk. IV
B Mk. IX
FB Mk. XVIII
F Mk. II
F Mk. XXX
These five planes encompass all of the major variants of the mosquito and all should be added......

While it was a B.Mk IX that did the most sorties of any Allied bomber, I think the B.Mk XVI covers for it well enough, just remove the 'cookie' option for settings where the B.Mk IX is appropriate.
While I'd like to see the FB.Mk XVIII added, there were only 27 of them, about half converted from FB.Mk VIs and about half new builds. That is hard to justify on that low of production.
I would very much like to see the F.Mk II, B.Mk IV and F.Mk 30 though.

The B MK. IX didn't have as good high altitude preformance as the Mk. XVI, nor the wing bombs but it could carry the cookie
The Mk. XVIII was very successful and if we would ever get U-boats would be fun to hunt them but for now in the anti GV role it would be well suited

The B.Mk IV and B.Mk IX could not carry a 'cookie'. It took the modified B.Mk IV Special or modified B.Mk IX Special with a bulged bomb bay to carry a 'cookie'. The B.Mk XVI was the first Mosquito designed to carry a 'cookie' from the start. The B.Mk IX also had high blown engines, but I would need to review documents to see where its performance was in comparison to the B.Mk XVI.

Yes, it was. They did far more damage than one would expect given their numbers. I'd like to have it, but I have to consider it a low priority.

This is a quote from wikipedia but sums things up pretty well:
In October 1943 it was decided that all B Mk IVs and all B Mk IXs then in service would be converted to carry the 4,000 lb (1,812 kg) "Cookie", and all B Mk IXs built after that date were designed to allow them to be converted to carry the weapon.
I think if we got the both mossie Mk. IV and Mk. IX and the later would get the cookie.
