The Mossie

Jimatay · #1 09-02-2009, 11:46 PM

Noticed a few of you on this forum have the De havilland mosquito as a avatar and wondered how many more of you are fans of this GREAT aircraft?
To me, it was THE plane of WW2, it could perform in any role, with success.
I also noticed that some of you have suggested "mossie type" missions (eg reconnaissance missons) to see in DLC and wondered does anyone know if the Mossie is in BOP or is there any plans to release this wooden wonder in DLC?
I think it'll fit right in, and would be perfect for ground attack missons already in the game. No need to record engine sound either, they could get away with using the Spitfire engine sound. It WILL need the right cockpit though

Yes, I'm a bit of a fan, and I agree it's a bit disappointing it wasn't in the game.

The mossie was a great plane and inspiration for many other great planes. And of course the B-25 was influenced by it, so that's got to be something, at least for me.

I liked this picture of a couple of Mitchell's flying with a mossie (probably at an airshow or something, though I'm not sure), like the comment says not sure you'll be seeing that again anytime soon!

Well i'm still hoping it will be in the game as no official plane list has been released has it?
Just have to cross my fingers I guess. Engine sound would be easy but i'd want to be able to here both of them, the he111 have dual engine sound im pretty sure from the demo. The mosquito would just use the same as he111 but with the merlin sound effect instead. Just like listening onboard to Rossi and Lorenzo riding their Yamaha's in 1st and 2nd in motogp.

it would be great to fly the wooden wonder in this game, so hopefully some DL content in the near future will allow for this, fingers crossed.

On a side note though.... its good to the the bristol blenhiem in their for a change and flyable to i believe. Makes a welcome change and i look forward to trying her out. Will need some damn good air cover though haha.

yes I suppose that's a bright side of the situation. I'm pretty interested in that plane as well, just look at my sig.

Speaking of my sig, the planes a little too thin, I think I stretched it out too much. D'oh! I't's about time for a new one anyway though.

You can tell its a blenhiem in your sig though so wouldnt worry to much

The Mossie, along with the Ju-88, were probably the most versatile aircraft of WW2. And, there's no question as to which one was prettier, or better to fly.

Still, the Ju-88 was a great 'plane in her own right.

Aye, the Mossie was a beautiful aircraft. One of my all-time favourites.

EDIT: Please add it as DLC!!!!
