Oh hey I do have a question for you 38 pro out there. Usually I fly 109s for furballing. I've never been a fan of 38 since AW1 days. However I been giving 38 a few try in AH2. I don't log a lot of hours in 38s in AH2, probably no more then 4 hours so I really don't know anything about the plane. Only thing I know of its performance are from fighting in 109s and 190s v. other 38.
My series of questions are:
1. With both engines, do they have each engine torque a different way so it would cancle out the torque effect? I mean I can see or at least feel it on taking off. I haven't pay attention when turnfighting it since I rarely fly it.
2. With the torque effect cancel (if true) does this mean at low speed such as on top of loop you won't be able to use throttle to control your roll (torque)? This would be advantage and disadvantage depends on the fight (allows you to roll to any direction while stalling ontop of rolling scissors w/ full power if needs?)
3. I've fought against spits often in 38, usually I don't run into a good spit pilot so it's np. Once in a while some rly good spit stick shows up and I can't shake em that easily when they start going horizontal turns even with series of rolling scissors they still try to force the fight on the horizontal. Which I think my 38G can't handle that well vs spit in the horizontal.
In this situation if I break it and go on the vert, try to force hanging prop, or force the spit to bleed E in the Scissors and having my 38 keep rolling to the right on top of rolling scissor at full power to maintain E and eventually maybe can bring it to an E fight?. I have heard that 38 got an exellent verticle fight out of any plane. With prop hanging and such? I think the spit16s can maintain the vert just as good as 38 if not better? But can it keep its nose up as long as 38 or would it stall out first?
4. Those with dual throttle, can they use that to their advantage with turning fighting. Example if on top of rolling scissor if they want to roll that 38 and point it downward would it be easier to chop 1 engine throttle forcing the torque to work to make it roll and reverse faster? or is that too much micro for a lil benefit? Delirium probably got the answer for this one.
5. Differences betwen 38G, J and L? beside the letters? G can turns a better but has no wep and maybe 20% less engine power? J balanced between power/turnining radius? L most power, but worst turning radius? Ord Loadout.
