I forsee usage levels on the new P-38 will be somewhat less than the Ki-84.  

Unless the J carries L-size ordinance for more perks, then it will probably get most of the use.

J doesnt have the same rocket loadout as L.

well, i love them.  well worth the wait as far as i am concerned.  
i do think there will be some perkfarming going on in the G model.  to bad i dont use perks all that much, occasional jet run,  wish we could do something else with them.  :)

the PJ is here!!

the p-38 g  turns like its on rails ... no wep or dive flaps though ... it is slower though but its turn ability will make it a very dangerous apponenet ... (cant wait to tnb  against  a hurri )

the J model is faster and has a great view

I went in and bagged 2 pelts in each of them .. they are alot of fun to fly

very impressed! I really like how these earlier p38s feel, the powered ailerons on later models  may increase roll rate at high speeds but they just dont feel right. Seems this way in most sims.  The pj is a dream come true!

i found some errors with the G model's cockpit:



it seems the perspective is a bit off, maybe the controls are a bit high or the plate is a bit big, not sure. I dont mind how it limits visibility since i can look under it with tirV, which is kinda cool emersion wise.

here is a little error with the gunsite



im sure these will be easy to fix

all in all great work, the new p38 fm's are pretty dang good!

The new patch is outstanding, remodeled and new P-38s are breathtaking.
Still, I'm surprised to see the PJ being clearly superior now to the L. Looks like all 38s have more generous compressibility limits now which makes the dive flap advantage of the L model inconsequential. The PJ handles better then the old L in pitch which is now a dump truck in comparison. Difference between boosted and non-boosted ailerons is there but is hardly an advantage in low speed maneuvers, since the PJ can be swiftly stalled and cranked around with ruder regaining immediate control by pushing the nose a little afterwards.
The PJ is a hell of a ride, better than the pre patch L.
The L sucks now as a fighter, but that's ok, the strat guys will strap bombs under it anyway, thank god the PJ has a smaller bombload  ;)

Neither the J or the L have the gun sight attached to the dash. Yea, its a picky complaint, but there it is.

I like the J much better than the L, lighter and the dive brakes aren't worth the loss of manuverability.
