General information
The Mosquito FB Mk VI is a British strike aircraft. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.
The Mosquito FB Mk VI is a heavy-hitting fighter-bomber that can cover many roles in War Thunder as it could in real life. With the ability to equip bombs and rockets, it can play a part in both the ground and air war. Use its speed and firepower to show the enemies who really rules the battlefield. With the instructions below, an aspiring pilot can make full use of the Mosquito and even squad up because as in the war, a team can never have enough wooden wonders. The Mosquito then goes on to the excellent Tsetse (Mk XVIII) with the 57 mm cannon for an even better ground attacker.
