Strikers 1945 II Arcade - DH-98 Mosquito

Character: DH-98 Mosquito

Full arcade playthrough using DH-98 Mosquito, done using PSX (AKA PS1).
DH-98 Mosquito is probably the best plane to use if one does not know when to use the charged shots or the bombs because its normal shots and sub weapons are the most powerful if fully powered up. It is without a doubt the best sub weapons with those rapid firing missles. The charged shots that sent out heat waves are also good, deals lots of damage that can be as good as Shinden because it can kill the bosses fast, almost instantaneously. Bombs allow DH-98 Mosquito to summon its counterparts (exactly the same plane) and they are rather decent as they have perfect balance between damage and durability. The only downside to DH-98 Mosquito is its speed. It is the slowest plane among the 6 playable planes.
Expert players should either use F-5U Flying Pancake or Ki-84 Hayate instead when playing solo because these 2 planes have the best supercharged attack. DH-98 Mosquito is also pretty good as it is well rounded like Lightning, but more towards the power side while Lightning is more towards speed. Thus, it is good for solo runs, and players should use it with Lightning if playing co-op. May make up a more balanced gameplay than Flying Pancake & Hayate, the combination which I still prefer.

Note: This is played on the PS1 console version. I wished I could play the arcade via MAME but I have to admit that version is too hard for me, plus the rapid fire is important to me. I got too tired pressing the fire button rapidly even though it is similar to Metal Slug series but I found Metal Slug dodging of bullets to be less tiring. Strikers is just way too difficult for me to focus on both in the arcade versions.
Anyway, this may be the 2nd Strikers game but it was labelled as "Strikers 1945" instead in consoles because the original first game was banned outside Japan due to the NSFW portraits if you did extremely well in the 1st game.
