 The Mosquito ended its career with many nicknames including "Mossie", "Termite's dream", "the timber terror" and most famously "The wooden wonder". However, the one that probably suited it most was "All things to all men". This encapsulates the mosquito's effect of not only being adored by its pilots and crew but the admiration the British public gave it from its ability to be such a morale-boosting plane. To be honest the best quote ever said about the mosquito came from none other than Goering himself ''"In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set - then at least I'll own something that has always worked."''

 A twin engine monoplane which entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1941, the de Havilland Mosquito was originally conceived as a high speed bomber/reconnaissance aircraft whose performance would be so outstanding that defensive armament was not required. When its plans were originally drawn up in the autumn of 1938, a second alarming feature was conceived – to save materials for other war machines, the Mosquito would be made of largely of wood. This concept was perhaps too advanced for the British Air Ministry, and it was not until after the beginning of the Second World War that de Havilland's plans were seriously considered. The prototype first flew in November 1940, and shortly after astounded any sceptics by demonstrating a top speed of just under 400 mph and an exceptional manoeuvrability for its size.

 The FB Mk VI was the most widely produced of all Mosquito variants during the war; factories managed to produce 2,584 aircraft. All in all, 6,710 Mosquitoes (from all series) were manufactured. According to General Bennett, the only drawback the "wooden wonder" had was that there were never enough of them. After a hugely successful wartime career, the Mosquito continued to serve with several nations well into the 1950s.

 * 4 x 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 2,000 total)
-The Mosquito VI has a fixed forward-mounted armament of four 7.7 mm Browning machine guns and four 20 mm Hispano Mk.II both with a variety of belts. For the machine guns, the "Universal" belt is highly recommended as it suits both ground attack and air combat although only for the use of tracers in the latter. Use the machine guns for ranging and attacking light targets, don't waste the cannons on those. The cannons are specific to their role, so a pilot may want to think about what role the Mosquito will be flown as before spawning. In the ground attack role, the "Ground targets" belt is the obvious choice for the cannons as 60% of the ammo is armour-piercing. This ammo can destroy targets up to light tanks (attack from behind) and light pillboxes (through windows and doors). For anti-air, the belt of choice is "Air targets". This ammo makes light work of any aircraft. "Stealth" can also be used as it does not contain any Tracer component, sometimes allowing the Mosquito to sneak attack unsuspecting opponents. This is also why the "Universal" belt in the machine guns are useful as it allows the Mosquito to adjust its aim while using "Stealth" belts.

 The cannons are mounted under the nose and so will need more lead than wing-mounted Hispanos, but the close grouping makes it far less affected by convergence. To use the cannons to attack ground targets, go into the virtual cockpit to gain the best accuracy. For tanks, line up behind them at least 0.6 km away and low to the ground. Begin to fire at the target at about 0.4 km, by aiming for the top armour of tanks and the back of the turrets as these areas are more likely to be penetrable. As for light pillboxes, these are stationary targets so they will be easier to destroy and so don't need as much setting up. Aim for the back of the pillbox or the window at the front. Of course, the Mosquito will need ground target ammo to penetrate the armour of both targets. Flaps should be deployed as they will help the plane elevate quicker and stop it from crashing into trees or buildings. The tactics and knowledge built from this will then come in very useful when playing the Mk XVIII as it is an even better ground attacker.

-The Mosquito began life in a more than a shaky start. In 1936 the Ministry issued Specification P.13/36 that stated a twin-engine bomber that could carry a payload of 3,000 lb for 3,000 miles while having a maximum speed of 275 mph. It was also stated that it should also carry 8,000 lb at shorter ranges. Geoffrey De Havilland sent a letter to an Air ministry council member Air Marshal Wilfrid Freeman stating that a high-speed bomber could be made out of wood and powered by RR Merlin engines as there would be a shortage of strategic metals in a war. However, Freeman replied that it would fall short of the specification by either bomb load or speed both of which were important.

-De Havilland believed that the adjustment was too large and that he should design the new bomber with no unneeded equipment. He began to base his new design on the DH. Albatross airliner. He would add a tail turret and around two manual guns to the design and replace the power plants with Merlin X engines. There would be a crew of 3 and a top speed of 300 mph. Although De Havilland still believed the design could be improved more and looked at other designs based on the albatross.

 '''Arcade Battles'''
-In Arcade the best loadout will be the 500 lb bombs, with the artificial crosshairs it makes dive-bombing very accurate and easier to use than the rockets, they also have more flexibility in targets. The rockets aren't as good in Arcade due to the crosshairs making bombs the more accurate ordinance however they can still be useful for taking out bombers quickly and somewhat brutally providing they are well aimed. The cannon ammo will probably favour the universal belt as a pilot has to be ready to diversify the Mosquito's role when playing in Arcade matches moreso than in RB/ SB. For attacking aircraft, bombers are a good target as the Mosquito can take some punishment (although not to the engines) and will quickly deal with the bombers with its cannons. For fighters, stay fast and use it like a Beaufighter to quickly destroy a target and get out, do not get caught up in dogfights.

The rockets aren't as good in Arcade due to the crosshairs making bombs the more accurate ordnance however they can still be useful for taking out bombers quickly and somewhat brutally providing they are well aimed. The cannon ammo will probably favour the universal belt as a pilot has to be ready to diversify the Mosquito's role when playing in Arcade matches moreso than in RB/ SB. For attacking aircraft, bombers are a good target as the Mosquito can take some punishment (although not to the engines) and will quickly deal with the bombers with its cannons. For fighters, stay fast and use it like a Beaufighter to quickly destroy a target and get out, do not get caught up in dogfights.
 The best mode is Ground strike for Arcade, this gives a few choices that the Mosquito can undertake. Firstly the anti-bomber role can be played to stop the opposing team base rushing the match to a quick end. It will also provide plenty of air targets while little interference from other fighters. The second is to pray on the low and ground attacking aircraft or the enemy aircraft that are attacking the friendly ground strike aircraft as they will also be low and vulnerable. Attack these by "Boom and Zoom" tactics as turning will slow the Mosquito down and make it an easy target. Finally, the Mosquito can perform ground strikes itself. The 500 lb bombs will hit the heaviest of targets and destroy them while also being very accurate with the bombsight. Once these payloads are released, the Mosquito can shift and engage in normal fighter combat, but this will be riskier.
