In fact, in game I dont can run away from enemy fighters, unless emils or more olders one...

There is something that I can do to improve my speed flying mossies?


Thanks,

and forgivme for my English
Purely in IL21946 you have to pick your attack & escape route well with the Mossie, team work is important as with all ground attack aircraft.
An IL2 pilot will hunt you down beyond all reasonable means just to get a kill.

It been said many times before that most engagements were fast, one second the enemy were there the next they were gone.
This is difficult to emulate in IL2 due to the viewing capability of the sim.

The aircraft in WW2 saw many roles and was adapted accordingly.
This clip shows the armament and numbers flown on raids,
in the early days it wasn't just a couple of mossies plopping a few bombs on a nazi HQ in France,
they were quite a work horse, this clip shows to the end some shipping attacks in what looks like Norway.
