 | The Mossie was a recce/light bomber that was a nightfighter, the Lightening was a fighter that could carry bombs. You had the NF30 version in your original post, how would it fare against the FBVI, BIX or a PRMk32?

| The Bf 110 can not even be compared to the Mossie or the P-38. To attempt to do so is pointless... Having said that, there is allready a thread to compare the P-38 to the Mossie. Thread closed.
