for a 15000 pound plane with only 1000hp, p38g turns as sharp as spits and zeroes (even at lo speeds!). Something's wrong here...

It actually has around 2500HP, applied by two props, but you can ignore that if you like.

Wrong... the G is the easiest of the 38's to fight in the 84. The 84 can purely outmuscle the G.. it's much more difficult to deal with the J/L because of their vertical performance. The G might dominate a Ki way up high, but Ki's don't belong above 10k in the MA.

It's the pilot, not the plane.

End of simple explanation :) :)


The fact that in real life no bomber pilot ever tried to turnfight does not mean it is impossible... It is just plain stupid... But possible... :D

Yesterday i was in a G alone got ganged by knit peasants.

first a Fw190D and a P38L than a 110 came in and a P47 goes HO me i got a pilot wound on that point but i just didn't want to get banged.

So i kept turning than another P38-l and another 190D came to help i found my self turning against about 5 gangers. And they all where so frustrated they all went for HO.

Damn suckers i pinged the L engine but found my self to much on the defensive so i ditched and none of the knit dweebs got a kill. This fight took more than 5 minutes.

That was a classic G moment for me .

No salutes no respect knitty gamers.

I like the red line on the USA flag :)

"... and zeroes (even at lo speeds)"

Now your over the edge and really trolling.

Please produce some flims of this  phenomena, else pull your line out of the water or I am calling the Fish & Game Police.

You dont understand ACM, flight path prediction, or anything that has to do with dog fighting for that matter.

I can garrantee that whoever was in the 38, was creating angles that allowed him to get guns on you.

I fly spitv's alot. I rarely try to "out turn" anyone in it. Rather I create angles based upon my apponents manuvers and try to beat him to where I know he's going to be. The same basicly goes for whatever plane I'm flying. Altho that's a turn fight, you aren't nessesarily "out turning" anyone. Your just beating him with better angles.

I will tell you right now, for a fact, that the 38G cannot in any way out turn a spitV. I'd have a hard time out turning almost all of the spits with equal pilots. Even the 9 is a great turn fighter given the knowledge of speed control, flap usage and throtle.

To put it simple... Your wrong. And you talking like a newb.

not outturning, creating angles?  so, lead turning or turning inside of nme's turn?  use his speed to cause over shoot, barrel roll to cause overshoot?  is this what is meant by the ever criptic "create angles"?

NEWSFLASH!

...just tried p-38G,  i did all the "ACMs" and adv ACMs and found that i can give some experienced spit (seaf, 5, and even 9) a hard time. when flaps extended all the way down or 1/3 it can loop with spit (except in climb). the 38 is also fast at deck
