Should be perked.

 It's overloaded ordnance capabilities totally destroys the need for other dedicated jabo/ground attack planes. Mossies, 110s, IL-2s, A-20s and etc etc.

 ..

 Ofcourse, with that logic P-38s not the only plane should be perked.

Yes I have the film. Was some sweet missions I was running for ****s and giggles. Mission ended up to me 36 P38's in all. Sad part is 1 mission earlier I launched us all from hangars and everyone augered. Thats why I dont usually run them . Ill post the film once my comp is up and running.

Now for the slaps at hand. How dare you say perk the P38. It's the biggest peice of crap I have ever laid my eyes upon. Whoever can get that bird to fly right deserves to fly it at "no cost" and unlimited flyability.

The P38 is in a way "perked" if you will. It takes a good while to get fairly decent in the plane and thats it's downfall and I like it that way, so there! I will not have a whiny thread put a damper on the bird I fly most often in the MA. You damn bafoon Morpheus

Slapshot it's good to see you have graduated from the spit (although lethal as hell in it) to the P38. Now you MUST give me a holler on chan 1 and I'd like to wing with you, anytime:D

I would like to think that I have broadened my horizons (:D) rather than graduated.

Still, the Spit V and Seafire don't gather much dust, while I try to figure this monster out. Nothing like jumping in the Spitty and twistin' and turnin' all over the place.

Now if we could launch the 38 from a CV .... :aok

I think the P-38, P-51D, F4U-1D Corsair, Me-110, and Typhoon should all be perked when bombs are shackled, but free otherwise.

Nah ... I can't agree with that. When "shackled" with bombs, these planes are nothing but easy floundering slow fat targets.

Bahh, Slap is Spit V is easy pickings.  Just make sure he does not see you before you shoot and then run as fast as you can.
