Unperk the Mosquito Mk. XVI

[coombz]

You showed up into this thread immediately firing a volley at me for daring to state that the mosquito bomber can be intercepted by more than a few planes in this sim.

another lie - what's the excuse this time?

i have no opinion re: the mossie, i just felt like highlighting your mendacious nature

so who are these top pilots who 'die like noobs' when you meet them? care to provide any film?

i won't hold my breath

Dang Scherf, that is some bad luck with the flak there.  I've hit the city many times in a Mossie and the worst I've had is one fuel tank holed.

Heya,

Yeah, a sample size of four is no doubt a little small, was actually pretty amazed when, on the third run over the city, I didn't get the Magic-Mossie-Insta-Pilot-Wound. Was pretty p*ssed, going to get me that Billy Bob Thornton pw sound effect.

On the city tile, do the smaller structures count as buildings, or is it only the big grey shopping mall sized ones?

If you have no opinion on the mossie, then don't post in this thread with the intention of baiting.

I tried to take this to private messaging so we can keep the discussion on topic but you are determined to air your grievances here.

Please address any issues you have with me in private messaging from now on.

You're done baiting me here.

Another lie, I haven't received a single PM from you     Are you sure you sent to the right person?

edit: not that it would make any difference, it was you who started with all this 'post the proof of me lying' stuff, now you're complaining because I did it in public?

You might want to re-read the thread.

Zoney is the one I was referencing regarding lying.

MENDACIOUS!



Coombz wins the thread, please lock, thx.

Zoney is a class act and a very nice person.

Zoney was an AK for a bit, and he is a lot of things, but not a liar.  I have always found him to be helpful, cordial, and polite. 

It seems icepac that you can't let go of past issues.  Quit humping Zoney's ankle and move along.

Because of this thread, I took a mossie bomber formation up.  Sadly, I didn't get intercepted at all even though I flew through 3 active nme radars attempting to get someone to engage me.  I guess for me the perk cost question is TBD.

What bomb load and altitude did you use?

What bomb load and altitude did you use?

I think it was 6 500's and I went to 20K

For best results go to 27 or 28k.  You will be significantly harder to intercept up there.

Also be aware that there is a speed penalty with the external 500lb bombs even after they have been dropped.  The hard points cost you 3-4mph.

ya, I know.  I was just hav'n fun...  I tend to error towards the "dangerous" side.  My take on the game is engagement.  Flying super fast at 28K where engagement isn't likely is no fun.

Well, it varies.  My  last sortie was at 28k with a single 'cookie' to the city.  Unfortunately there was a Bf109K-4 over the city at about that altitude.  I led him a merry five or six sector chase, but he did get me in the end.

Intercept attempts always make the sortie more fun, even if I lose the contest in the end.
