That certainly was a good scrap.  You should be giving lessons on how it's possible to fly the A5 like a spit.

since they reset the spitV back to less than uber, the 38G is harder to kill when in the 109f

the 109e can handle either of them easily except for the best of pilots

I am a P-38 fan. :)

My gunnery is so much better in the 38 then in other AC, but it is a big target.

Been flying the 38G a lot recently in the MA (tried a couple sorties in the CT this week but the #'s were too lopsided to fly allied).  The originally had the same issues with the size and glass in the 38G.   The wierd thing is that after a couple weeks the 38 seems to shrink.  I'm to the point now where I don't even notice the glass anymore.  To me the biggest issue is the G seems underpowered.  Not nessesarily a FM issue, but once your slow you're slow for awhile.  I'll have to try the flap/AoA that's been discussed here, I'm curious to see how that works.

You would think with the nose mounted guns everybodys gunnery would be better. For some reason my gunnery is worse in a P-38 then any other U.S. aircraft.:confused:

38Gs and only 38Gs.  Who needs the J and L :)

38G's a Spit with two engines and more ammo.

I flew the allied side for quite a bit tonight and no doubt about it the rides are very very sweet but as with most things if they are much too sweetened they become repugnant.  the only match I enjoyed was one where I was in a bostonIII vs a 202.  that was truly enjoyable.  I honestly don't understand how some players can be in those rides 24/7 but I guess that's the same formula that's utilized to make horse races.

Heh.  Guess who was in the 202, and who lost the fight.

Storch, you were doing amazing things with that Boston, I was hugely impressed.

can't claim the credit OM.  the allied planes are generally so overmodelled that a mediocre attack platform can compete with arguably one of the best turners in aviation history.  It was fun though.

I am curious if there was ever an A2A kill recorded for the A20 series....
