having used the FB in multiplayer against AI and players it is in a rather strange place. 

It has the speed of a spitfire but not the manauvering potential. Has a load similiar to a mustang though with smaller bombs unless you run 4 straight bombs, where as the mustang can take both. has less secondary ordanance then a p47 but with similar primary ordanance. 

 

So against 1943 opponents it has a chance but against anything newer it struggles, the AAA being rather accurate does not help either as the inlines are particularly prone to being critically hit.

The FB.VI is currently modeled with top speeds at the bottom of the uncertainty range, and maneuverability that also tends to be as conservative is possible - these things are open to interpretation so they are not “wrong”, plus the real planes also had some variance between individual examples. When Mosquitoes started facing the late war Luftwaffe planes, they were using the 150 octane fuels, in particular those that were doing day ranger missions were the first to get it. Otherwise most FB.VI operations were at night, of flying in large formations and sometimes with escorts (coastal command).

As for the ordnance load, a late 44 fighter (p51/47) could carry about as much, but only on internal fuel which meant much shorter range vs. FB.VI on internal fuel. 1945 FB.VI had the option to carry both 8 rockets and DT on the wings giving the a much larger range than a P51 trying to do the same mission, not to mention over a P-47. The cruise speed of a fully loaded Mosquito is also higher than that of a P51/47 with a similar load. None of that will be reflected in online gameplay. In R/L this is why the single engine fighter bombers were used during the day, and FB.VI operated mostly at night when the singles could not operate at all.
