Unperk the Mosquito Mk. XVI

[Karnak]

Mossie XVIs are rare in the MA, but they are out there.

While I was climbing out on Sunday night I saw the damage points spam from a landing Mossie XVI.

It's simple.

While I've seen plenty of B29s the last two tours, I have yet to see a mossie.

Another reason to unperk it.

just because you did not see one does not mean they were or are not being used.     At 408mph TAS on the egress at 27,000 ft, you need to BE there when they arrive to... oh wait....

Still waiting film or screenshot of a 1k+ NS-37 hit. Cmon, you said it was easy, so you must have a ton of them...right?.....right?

The mossie was used down and dirty at tree top level.
with a perk cost most people will stay away from that
(I do it anyway)

Mosquito Mk XVI was not a low altitude Mossie.  Its best speed is had at 28,000ft, at which altitude the only F4U that can catch it is a -4.

If you think intercepting the Mossie XVI in anything other than a rocket is easy, well, you've never had to intercept a Mossie driver who knew what he was doing.

Let me put it this way, if a Mossie XVI crosses a sea level airfield at 28,000ft at the same time that a Bf109K-4 takes off to intercept it the Bf109K-4 will be so far behind by the time it reaches 28,000ft that it would need to run WEP for 45 minutes in order to reach firing range. Good luck.


Further, if it were unperked, it would just end up being used to sling 4,000lb bombs at GVs.
The late war bomber version, not the fighter version, Meatwad.

Many years ago I took a 1k+ NS37 hit to my Spitfire Mk XIV.  It put a hole in my radiator.  It was very annoying as I had been playing "dodge262" while trying to keep this Yak at bay.  Still made it home, but quite irritating really.

Please stay on topic and leave your ad hominem attacks for someone who cares.

[coombz]

Please state these lies you are referencing and any proof of them.

you expect me to spend an hour searching through pages and pages of General Discussion and Wishlist threads searching for all your BS posts? yeah right

everyone has seen them. you're always claiming to have shot down this pilot or that pilot or to have killed so many of X plane, and strangely the stats never back it up, and you always say 'Maybe i'll post the film' and you never do

It's just one screenshot... Can't be that hard.

I have a film somewhere landing hits with NS37 but not getting the kill.

It will be hard to find but it does exist.

What is easier to find is that I said I CAN land hits beyond D1900 rather than saying "I did land hits".....even though I did.

Far easier would be for you to use the .target command and test it yourself.

The only claim that was incorrect was rectified on this thread.

The burden of proof is on you to prove me a liar rather than flippantly tossing an accusation without doing the work required to back it up.

[coombz]

It's not an accusation, it's a statement of fact that everyone who has seen your posts is fully aware of

You are a compulsive liar

[icepac]

Coombz, your opinion means nothing because you are not flying the sim and I have noticed you only post in "argument threads" which means your posting here is only to argue rather than discuss the perking of the mosquito bomber.

If anybody else wants to lodge the "liar" accusation, please step up and take this wager............

You lodge the accusation with undeniable proof I am a compulsive liar.

If I am able to refute it, you have to leave both the forums and the game.

If you can prove me a compulsive liar, I will leave the game and forums.

This is only open to current players.

I thought coombz did play? 

Anyways

So? I "CAN" land hits 4K away with the BK5 while shooting at the .target command too. 

[coombz]

More lies,  I do play Aces High (although not as often as i'd like )

I have an active subscription and flew as recently as 2 days ago

[icepac]

That makes me incorrect when commenting that I thought are not actively playing.

Your accusation is that I am a compulsive liar.


Take the wager coombz.
