Actually I believe that this model (of which very few were made, and were used only in summer 1940, I think) was used primarily if not entirely in the ground attack role, including against tanks in the Battle of France.An antitank craft who wasnt.

I if wonder in that date was available the H-Panzegranate , according to my sources that was first introduced in the Hs-129B1 in late 1942.
I don't think that indirect artillery fire was any more effective than bombing - in both cases, there was a rather random distribution of munitions in the area occupied by the tanks, and unless the tanks were packed really close together, the vast majority would have missed.The "best tank killer" was perhaps the little unarmed L-4 Cub that controlled the guns of an artillery battalion, and if needed could call in all the guns of a division.
because she's a twin? no more susceptible than the Hs-129 and she could absorb more than her fare share of damage, i'm certainly not arguing she'd have been the best of the war i just don't believe she can be eliminated so easily on those grounds...........
by the way I think that the very low rate of fire in the mossie 57mm and the tilted gun would made hit a medium tank extremely difficult.
They did test the Tsetse against a tank-sized target. They found that on a typical attack run it could fire four rounds, and that on average one out of three hit the target. So it could, in theory, hit a tank with every pass; allthough in combat it is unlikely that the crews could have done as well as that
It isn't as bad as it looks - the nose of the Mosquito is sweeping upwards at the point where the gun muzzle protrudes, so it isn't angled downwards in the way that it appears.Four ? it seems very optimist , the gunsight armonization whit this emplacement must be hellish.
By the way, I had posted the information you ask about the Mauser gun in the other forum.
The Mossie was also made of wood Lanc, and the dual engines never entered my mind...
