Morat Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Please may we have rockets? Ideally both the 25lb and 60lb versions. They're such an important part of the Mosquito history, especially for shipping raids. I'm sure this muast have been requested but I can't see a thread in the wishlist.

Basco1 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 +1 What with the rockets and the implementation of delayed fuse ordnance,there's a lot to look forward to with our Mossie......not to forget your upcoming 'V for Victory'Campaign Greg........it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Krupi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) They are on the time line so no need to make it a wishlist. In fact they are already modelled as well, here are some pictures curtesy of Silver Dragon: 25lb AP 60lb SAP HE 60lb SAP (?) And to celebrate there arrival booze! What I would pay to see these on a Hawker Typhoon one day.... You can see Bombs and more here... If someone could shine a light on the long nose 60lb I would appreciate it. I can only recall seeing the 60lb and 25lb. Is it a time delay?

Krupi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Yes looks like a nose fuse... Type F https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP-3 This ties up with the pictures title and the stamp on the warhead. So we should have four versions, the three shown plus a fused/non time delayed fused 60lb SAP.

Krupi Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 @NineLine Hi NineLine, Do we know which Rocket rails the Mossie will get? The difference in weight is substantial, Mk1 being larger and steel Mk3 being aluminium. Also, I know it is a late war design but what about the Rail and Drop Tank Combo. Up to four RP3 and a Drop Tank could be carried like so.

Terry Dactil Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Yes. These should be more accurate than the bombs I have been scattering far and wide around targets. Are the rockets working though? I can get the ground crew to hang them on the wings, but in the controls setup I can't bind the one listed keystroke to a Hotas switch. Also I can't find any control/arming/selector panel in the cockpit for the other functions. The manual only shows rockets as a 'work in progress'. Suggestions please? ___________________________________________________________ Duh! There are new training mission that shows where the Master Arm and Salvo switches are placed in a truly British WW2 cockpit layout. In the training mission there is now a great big "salvo" switch on the coaming that wasn't there before. Still can't bind a hotas key to fire the rockets though.

Baldrick33 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 You can bind a fire rockets trigger button and both control (Master and Salvo) switches can be bound too. Yes they work and I got to blow stuff up with them! Ergonomics wasn't really a thing back then though was it! 1 AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.

Yes. That is correct. My problem was self-inflicted. I had a mod to the joystick keybinds for the 2 speed elevator trim running and that prevented the operation of the new rocket keybinds for the joystick. All fixed and working now - learning something new every day Now I can go and blow stuff up too! Edited December 24, 2021 by Terry Dactil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the advantage of the Molins 6-Pounder install, it was surprisingly accurate even when fired from an aircraft. I would like to give the Molins a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactil Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Yes. A fantastic weapon, and another role in which the Mosquito was superb. I read recently that the technique was to aim at the water slight short of a U-boat. The round would then be deflected to horizontal, hit at the waterline and with a bit of luck go right through and out the other side. Much quicker at sinking a U-boat than punching holes in the conning tower and stuff above the waterline! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAW-Prof Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 This: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060020828 while it shows Beaufighters, says a 25 lbs head against merchant ships so I guess that it is the solid head one (AP).
