If you know how to fly it, it's a monster. If you don't ... it's a school bus.

People love to come and try and shoot you out of the sky thinking you are an easy kill. If they come after me thats what they will get... An easy kill.

But there are those who know how to fly the thing and can put a a very good fight.

I'm sure the massive fuel load has something to do with it.

It's funny....between some of us the p38 always had a mystique about it. I wanted to fly it and master it in AH1, but I could never hit the broad side of a barn in there.

All of a sudden, AH2 comes out and I can't hit the broad side of the barn in anything....except the 38.

Concerning the fuel loads, I'll be honest and say that I don't really see a huge difference from before. Before, I would have to rtb with missing parts and pieces and a lot of fuel (if I escaped). Now, I return about the same time, just a little less fuel and still fewer parts.

Umm if fuel is a concern... I'd fly the 51. With the new FM it stall fights amazingly.

Truly ubberized even more so now in AH2.

IMHO that is.

But wut do i know :)

I like the p38 caus its perfect for porking feilds. Dual engines allows for a loss of an engine and still make it back to base. I learned how to dogfight in AH1 in a p38. p38s are one of my favorite planes. Although im slowly converting to the 110 g2 caus towns are so big now.

Belonged to P38 squad in WB's.Belong to P38 squad now in AH2.I have always liked P38.The centerline guns are nice,and it hold it's own against the late war planes..it first flew in 1939.I had a friend,who flew for the Brits early,and later for the USAAC.He flew many types of aircraft,even a few enemy planes.I asked him once what his favorite aircraft was,and without hesitating he said the P38:)

HMM, stats say P38 is 7th in kills and (LOL) third in deaths.  Dont have the answer to that, but ya'all keep up the good work with that P38='easy kill' :aok 2.9% of those kills are mine :)
