The Mosquito is hardly a plane which a noob will select on Hyperlobby if he wants to become 'invincible'.

It is a specialists plane, focused on the ground attack role, something which a person obsessed with their kill/ratio is never going to fly.

It was never designed to mix it up with single engined fighters.

What it was designed to do was to get in to the target so quickly and with such speed, that interceptors are unable to react.

And that speed issue is exactly the point the original poster raised, ie. why is it comparatively slow?

The answer of course, is that the version we have in the game does not represent the later '44 and '45 models, where performance was upgraded so that it remained competitive.
