| Senior Member | Well lets take the P-38J - it could be used as a fighter, interceptor, fighter-bomber, bomber, recon, nightfighter, dive bomber, torp bomber, skip bomber, tank buster and ground attack. Could any single mark of the Mossie do all that? No. Thats why there's B, F.B and N.F versions of it. They all had to be modified to perform different roles. |

| Senior Member | All slightly different though, if you wanna be lame like that you could say theyre all essentially the same cos they involve flying... Fighter and interceptor ar different, fighteing involves the actual combat with another plane, intercepting includes taking off, getting to altitude and then engaging combat. Skip-bombing, tank busting, ground attack and dive bomber all come under the hood of Fighter-Bomber. |

| Senior Member | then why'd you put them separatly just to make it look as though it could do more??

| Senior Member | I know, but on top of the other things its still more than a single Mk of the Mossie could do. |

| Senior Member | C.C, Dive Bombing is a lot different then level fight Yes the P-38 did do this but Most would leave it to the P-47s. This argument of Mossie or P-38 is only partly affective because in the PTO the P-38 was King and really did it all.

| Senior Member | Yep, it could have and should have been better than the Ju-88. But because the Me-210 from which it was derived from was so crap they probably didnt put their full effort into it |

| | #59 |
| Senior Member | well the war was lost for them anyway, no plane could have saved them...........
