I can stall a G model in a HammerHead at 20MPH to 0 MPH.

It does Snap rolls like no other plane in this game IMO.

To solve the Visibility Problem ,all i did was hit the page down key and brought my Gunsight to Half and Half.

It does However drink a lot of fuel.

When compared with the Zero, the Lightning came off badly in terms of speed and maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, but had a far higher top speed, rate of climb and operational ceiling and was much better armed. When the P-38 tried to outturn a Zero at low altitudes, it usually ended up second best. However, when the unique attributes of the Lightning were used to best effect, the results were devastating. The best tactic was for the Lightnings to loiter at high altitudes and then dive down on Zero formations in a blaze of concentrated firepower, using the Lightning's impressive climbing rate to zoom back up out of harm's way. If this did not work, the wise Lightning Lightning pilot would then use his superior speed to make good his escape.

Well, yeah, but this b&z technique, while historically quite accurate, makes for a pretty boring fight in AH2.

Ki84 109g10 spit9 la7 and the niki are all batter planes then the 38. a good match will be a F6f or a 109g2, maybe the 205.
