High All,
I'm working on my North Atlantic campaign, & ran into a little problem, as soon as I start the mission, the torpedoes drop off the Mosquito instantly & the plane is SLOW! Only going about 133 at full throttle with no load, only fuel...
Any ideas?

The sea mosquito has the same FM as the standard mossie and as a result has some problems climbing. The slow acceleration is odd. If you air start below 200 mph the RATO's are still attached and quickly accelerate you to above 180 mph. If fact if you hold an extreme climb out angle (around 70 degrees and below 180 mph) the Sea Mossie will climb to 30,000' in a few minutes with RATO's attached.

The training missions which come with the aircraft will give you some idea of heights and speeds to operate the Sea Mossie at, but like the land based version, if you get low and slow you will have a few problems climbing away.

cheers mace

P.S. Looking forward to your North Atlantic campaign!
