The Mosquito is a one man air superiority fighter in use exclusively by the Terran Republic. Decades of refinement have made this aircraft the quickest and most agile. It has the quickest acceleration while boasting the highest cruise and climbing speed, as well as a small frame that is more difficult to hit.

Mosquito Strategy LinksEdit

• Tech Plant Advanced Offensive Strategy
  1. If the defenders have Liberators providing close air support, recruit some fighter pilots to take them out.
• Tech Plant Advanced Defensive Strategy
  1. When defending the Tech Plant, these are highly effective against incoming Galaxies and Liberators.
• Bio Lab Basic Base Strategies
  1. When defending a Bio Lab, be on the lookout for any Galaxy craft attempting to land on the air platforms and take them out.
  2. Often attackers will get pigeon holed on one of the air platforms, strafing the dense crowd of enemies can be very effective but air should be your proirity.
• Bio Lab Advanced Offensive Strategies
  1. When assaulting a Bio Lab keep the air clear of enemy fighters so your Galaxy can land on the air platforms.
• Amp Station Basic Base Strategies
  1. Like other bases, use your fighter to counter enemy fights at the Amp Station and let your Galaxy land to unload troops.
• Heavy Assault Class Strategy
  1. It only takes 2 rockets from a Heavy Assault to take you out. Watch out for them!
