what's up with the p38??
« Reply #45 on: June 11, 2004, 08:08:43 PM »
im not sure about all this talk about 38 not sustaining a turn fight.  so far ive turned and won with nikis and spits in AH2, and ponies while im at it.  ive lost a couple, but won more often than not.  just gotta use those flaps.  im having more fun turning it low than BnZ in it now.  better kill/death ratio too( of course this may be do to everyones poor marksmanship do to change).  great fun.  

and the new patch (42) has the 38 (and A8) fixed.  :D    Great job HT.

I noticed it last night when I was in AH2 and got into some stall fights with a few spits and N1K2s but it wasn't as bad as people made it out to sound.  As soon as I noticed the plane wanting to roll in a certain direction like was described, it was easy to keep it from rolling in that direction with a little bit of extra rudder input.

One thing I did notice is that when you start your roll for take off the plane wants to veer to the right and you need to use a lot of opposite rudder to keep it going straight down the runway.

Veering is caused by wind.
