Mosquito Mk VI questions
« on: April 27, 2010, 02:45:17 AM »
I am very happy to see the new shots of the updated Mosquito Mk VI.  As I am sure it is no surprise, based on my posting record, I am particularly interested in the fact that it has ejector stacks in place of the current AH Mosquito Mk VI's flame dampers.  I am sure HTC will still model it with Merlin 25s as that was, by far, the most common engine for Mosquito Mk VIs and, so far as I know, all rocket enabled Mosquito Mk VIs were Merlin 25 powered.  My question would be if the flight model is being adjusted to match the presence of the ejector stacks and if so will the performance look something like what Scherf and I hashed out in the last big Mossie thread?

I am also curious about the ability to change damage models based on hangar choices.  Obviously when you take a six gun P-47 it has a slightly different damage model than an eight gun P-47.  Does this ability extend to adding and removing armor?  In other words, could you do a Mosquito Mk XVIII by making the 57mm Mollins gun a loadout option that also added 800lbs of armor, increasing the cockpit and engine armor levels in the damage model?

It is but tempting to hope there might be more variants....

Assuming it's as easy as Karnak says, I find it hard to believe HTC wouldn't take the opportunity to add another variant just by modelling a new gun and changing the armour values.

Thanks for the response, Pyro.  That was pretty much what I was expecting, but based on the comments in the "New Mossie" thread I thought it would be a good question to ask about the capabilities of hangar options.  It is good to hear that the flight model will match the undampered graphics.

Mossie unleashed!  :rock

I never understood why there are not currently more models of the Mossie as are the Spitfire and Hurricane.

How it looks to me reading this and I hope I am wrong   :pray

"I am very happy to see the new shots of the updated Mosquito Mk VI.  As I am sure it is no surprise, based on my posting record, I am particularly interested in the fact that it has ejector stacks in place of the current AH Mosquito Mk VI's flame dampers.  I am sure HTC will still model it with Merlin 25s as that was, by far, the most common engine for Mosquito Mk VIs and, so far as I know, all rocket enabled Mosquito Mk VIs were Merlin 25 powered" (Question 1 answer yes?).  My question would be if the flight model is being adjusted to match the presence of the ejector stacks and if so will the performance look something like what Scherf and I hashed out in the last big Mossie thread? (Question 2 answer no  :frown: :?)

(Question 3 answer no?)
 

That is kind of how I would interpret the answer which is not then a source of great joy. Looks like same Mossy only a bit prettier but no faster. Just a make over.  :frown: :frown:

There are three question marks and three answers. It should be a no-brainer...

There are 4 questions, because the first one is broken by the "...and if so..." into two questions and the second paragraph has two question marks.

The first question is just a conditional question. A simple version would for example be "If you change the flight model, will it be like what Scherf and I hashed out?" A simple "yes" or "no" will do.

The Merlin 25 comment in my OP was not a question, it was a statement.

Since the answer to the first part "Will the FM change?" is "yes" the "... and if so.." condition kicks in and requires a separate reply to the second part.
It could be:
1. "Yes the FM will change" + "yes, it will be everything Schref hoped for and more".
2. "Yes the FM will change" + "no, it will be identical to that of the C47".
3. "No the FM will stay as it is" - this does not require a second answer.

"AND if so"... I completely overlooked the "and" in there. You are indeed the better grammar nazi; I salute you sir! ;)

Until proven otherwise, I will continue to believe we are getting an updated Mossie VI that will do ~350-355mph on the deck.   :P
