 plus some others with similar comments.

 I find the screen makes it very effective against ESU, OU,
 and FSE light opponents. The screen may not be the most
 efficient use of mass, but it's nice to still have protection
 when you've burnt the armour off your foes. Also very useful
 for those Mosquito crews lurking around the edges of large
 scale actions, or (ahem) running away.

 On the other hand, yes it's no help when the enemy are
 shooting large chunks of metal out of railguns at you.

 As I wrote on the web page, these designs are meant to be
 interesting, not necessarily efficient. I like the Mossie.
