357th_Esco Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Nice! Would be nice if they made the bomber version as well. While your at it add the bombsight to the P-38 “Droopsnoot”! Since they get an Arado, it would be nice to get some kind of late war fast level bomber.

Could make a wonderful Collectorplane - Doublepack with the Mosquito Mk IV/XVI. 1

Yes, probably the first uniform is the winter version and the second the spring / summer / autumn version. 1

Did Sd.Kfz. 10/5s really have Luftwaffe and not Heer crews?

In the eastern front battles we have in the game these only played a very minor role, so I am surprised that a Luftwaffe uniform was choosen for the model and not one from the Heer.
Viktor59 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 AA units were all Luftwaffe 8 hours ago, Jade_Monkey said: Qué nación es el último uniforme. No puedo decirlo. Los uniformes del ejército rojo cambiaron creo que en enero del 43, introdujeron las hombreras, cambiaron las insignias de rango y algunas cosas más. También lo notarás en los pilotos...

buster_dee Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Sweet. Love the Mossie. Night fighter version (with playable radar) would be awesome. Sign me up.

SYN_Vander Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 The Mosquito is easily my most anticipated plane for this sim! I do hope Amiens prison will be featured on the Normandy map? Some other flight sim developer somehow forgot to include it on their Channel map! Tip for the devs: Please release it for MSFS2020 as add-on plane to make some extra bucks, but more importantly so I can do a world tour with it! 1 1 1

If I remember well the map, Amiens should be within the limits. But we would better ask for this particular building to @Jason_Williams to be part of the city

The Bundeswehr is Even more confusing, where you have Branch colors for the Broad Spectrum of the Branch and Barrett Insignias for the Specialization. Edited October 3, 2020 by dotDeutschland

Thanks! I really hope they have the option of 240; it would make a big difference compared to 160. One of my favorite things about the 110 G2 is that the 20mms hold 400/350 rounds.
Zooropa_Fly Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 The mossy should be good.. But whenever I see all these dressed up dolls (that I never see), I can't help thinking we could have had a new ww1 crate instead. 1

Not even close to the same personnel or workflow, skill sets or time frame. It’s like seeing new seats and upholstery in a car and thinking that for that effort you could have a new V12 instead. Not taking anything away from 3D character design - I’ve done it and it takes effort. Not the same thing as a new aircraft from the ground up however. 2

=EXPEND=CG_Justin Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 So, to confirm, there will not be a glass nosed version or Pathfinder load out?
AndyJWest Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 41 minutes ago, =EXPEND=CG_Justin said: So, to confirm, there will not be a glass nosed version or Pathfinder load out? What we are getting is what was stated on the pre-order page: a Mosquito F.B. Mk.VI. Along with the 57mm Molins gun option, which would make it a F.B. Mk XVIII. The glazed-nose versions weren't F.B.s, and I don't think that pathfinders ever used the fighter-bomber versions. And what would we do with a pathfinder loadout anyway?

These seems a fairly obvious flat panel below the .303s
