As I always had planned I bought the pre release Mosquito.
Are there any recommendations for a ww2 focused multiplayer group for me to join? I am in UK/Europe time zones

Unfortunately the multiplayer community for DCS WWII is very very small. It’s basically only the Storm of War Server that sees good player numbers on a regular basis and they won’t implement the Mosquito in their missions until the most aggregious problems with the Fw 190A-8 and ground ordnance in general are fixed by ED.
Off the top of my head I can think of two groups that speak english and fly european times on a regualr basis:
Jagdgeschwader 53 is an english speaking group that I regularly meet on SoW but as the name suggests they are mainly flying axis planes (but not exclusively). They are very good at what they do. Burrito is actually a former Tornado pilot and instructor for the RAF
There’s also the servers owner Phil Style and his No.54 Squadron. They fly both allied and axis fighters
In any case I am not sure whether either of them are open to new members atm, you would have to ask.
What has been on the back burner due to it being summer and the lack of news on the Mosquito is our Operation Jericho event. We will definitely start planning again once everyone is back from holiday and we have a fixed release date for the Mossie. Until then we wait and fly Storm of War 
Seeing that there will be a winter version of the channel map is also good for this mission. If you want to simply fly for a bit and you see me online on Discord we can always do that of course. I’m still in quarantine until the 18th 
Cheers

Kind of odd to punish players for the brand’s faults, to be honest.
It goes without saying but I would welcome a regular mosquito session, first to learn and then to do

I can understand where they’re coming from though. Allies have a fantastic ground attack platform that works really well in the P-47D, yet the Anton that is fulfilling a similar role on the axis side isn’t able to use most of the available ground ordnance due to bugs. It has a whole slew of ground ordnance available to but only the 50kg, 250kg and 500kg bombs without a timed fuze are valid options for ground attack missions, with a timer they won’t really do any damage.
Any other available bomb and and the Wurfgranate 21 have problems that make them completely or nearly unusable. The SD10 cluster bombs do no damage at all for example and the cluster pattern is way too small (it is roughly 60mx90m instead of the 60mx200m that is stated in German documents). You can get perfect hits on infantry that’s standing out in the open and they won’t take any damage (full health bars!) when in reality the bomb should be able to effectively take out unarmoured vehicles and AAA yet it literally doesn’t do anything.
So I can understand that adding an allied fighter bomber to the server when the Germans only real ground attack platform is severely affected by bugs is something that they don’t want to do until the worst bugs are fixed.
