If that's a reference to the wooden Mosquito (de Haviland, was it?) then it didn't suck, it was built to be as inexpensive as possible, and due to the lack of metals in the airframe it excelled at defeating German radar coverage.

The 57mm Mosquito is a severely underrated ground attacker. I've brought this thing into top tier matches and it will slice through a T-72's upper plate at the perfect angle. It's extremely accurate too so I've been able to reliably aim and hit the drivers port. It's also very fast too. You can regularly accelerate to 500+km/h in level flight with this baby! It's seriously in my top 3 for most favorite cannon-armed ground attackers in the game right after the XA-38

When they would shoot, they would aim short and when the shell hit the water it would go down a couple of feet then parallel to the surface. It would punch nice holes under the waterline.

Pro tip for anyone who wants to play this thing, you dont need to dive on most enemies, the 57 mm can pen them from the side too

for some reason, on the Cromwell 5, no matter how many shells you have, it always displays at least 10 in your tank, even if you have 3

@@4sk4rd yeh no shit the footage is cherry picked. Doesn't alter the fact i literally can't even Remember the last time i got proper br let alone a down tier. Even when he doesn't and he's uptiered he seems to pull of some miraculous BS shots that even he often says shouldn't have penned. Meanwhile 4/5 of my shots land about a foot away from where aiming all the time. Which i would usually just put down to me being shit but when it happens on test drive as well on perfectly static targets even with arcade settings then something's been changed. the shot dispersion is attrocious atm. I dont know when they changed it but it's really starting to piss me off and i just can't enjoy the game when by the time one of my shells finally decides it going to land where I'm aiming it I'm already dead

[@dr1Voss48]

I love this aircraft and the Crom V. It’s my favourite ground pounder, not because it’s the best in the game (let’s be realistic when we have aeroplanes like the Wyvern, Tbolts, etc.) but because it’s different than the typical CAS gameplay. It teaches you patience and forces you to employ historical tactics to be successful. I usually try to cross over the combat area and drop down from altitude using a Split-S to conduct attack runs at the historically advises 30-degree dive. This allows you to maintain plenty of speed to get out of the AO and evade fighters while not overwhelming the airframe structurally. You also have a lower chance of crashes that result from control lock. Your shots are also more accurate when you’re not worried about the manoeuvre recovery. The key to success is straight-line energy retention, shallow dives, and knowing when to disengage. Also, can we please get Saint Andrew’s Cross as a decal in game?

[@HumphreyHorsehead]

The Molins is down to 3.0 now. I use it in a line up as the token rank 3 for doing tasks and its a strike aircraft so I can still spawn a typhoon too.

[@iffracem]

Funny, in real life the Mosquito's were universally held in high regard, and feared by friend and enemy alike for their competence and versatility. Higher flying and better payload than a B17, brilliant at tactical precision strikes, maneuverable on one engine. So potent that Goering famously declared that every Mosquito kill counted as 2 plane kills for his pilots. While the Duck was a sparsely used, mediocre plane that never had its many many issues fixed, mostly disliked by it's pilots. And the ME110 likewise was considered an average plane at best. But in WT, the mosquito's are near useless, while the ducks and ME110's reign supreme. Even the Stuka @ 26:00 has a better in game flight performance that the Mosquito, managed to turn 180 degrees, climb and catch a Mossie that was doing 500kph +... "realistic", more like ridiculous There's more 110 variants in the game than there are viruses in the wild... doesn't make sense

[@daniel_f4050]

Not to nitpick too much, but... The heaviest bomb load any model of Mosquito carried was 4,000 pounds. The B-17 could carry up to 8,000 pounds. And I very much doubt the Mosquito was feared by friends. 😉

[@iffracem]

@@daniel_f4050 Ahhh, yes, I meant "respected" not "feared. As for the bomb load I took as truth the info from a close friends father who was maintenance crew for Mosquitos in the closing stages of WWII and just after. If I'm wrong I apologise, been wrong before, and no doubt will be again. Regardless, it doesn't change that the Mosquito was a better, more versatile machine than the BF110, Duck and possibly all the regular, in service machines used by the Axis powers**. Yet in Warthunder it grossly under-performs. **Not Axis, but possibly Russia fielded the closest equivalent with the PE series???

[@daniel_f4050]

@@iffracem It is rather annoying how the Mosquito doesn’t come close to its IRL reputation in Gaijin’s world. On the deck a clean, late model Mossie should out accelerate and outrun almost anything.
