I know aper
I just love the p-38 so im a bit protective of her. I want the performance in AH as close to the actual aircraft as HTC can get it.
currently I think HTC has the p38 modelled quite well. as modelled its a fearsome energy fighter at medium to high altitudes nothing can hang with it in the vertical. and after all staying in the vertical alows you to maintain the initiative at any altitude in any aircraft even against nimble n1k2s
it turns poorly. (worse than the 109f4-g2) and hangs with the 109g6 but the g6 turns a bit better too. (the 109g10 runs away and dosnt bother turning
) I havent flat turned with any 190a5s they always go vert because only the real Luftwaffe fans fly 190s now
that being said it is still very important to realize that turn rate is a defensive quality more than an offensive quality.
it is in this light that I see both the P-38 and the P47 as awsome aircraft when they posess the initiative (energy/alt advantage).
but it is indisputable that these two aircraft have the weakest defensive abilities of the planeset if they are below 20k. above 20k these 2 have the speed and dive (p47) or speed and climb(p38) to regain the offensive.
