Ah! I surrender! The public scorning of me by people I dont know and dont care about is just too much for my young mind to take! Ah! It hurts so bad! If you really want me to care, get one of the few people I truely respect here to say that. I care about their oppinions. Not yours. :D

If you're really interested in the Lightning and want to know more about it I suggest some searching. There are probably quite a few posts on this very BB concerning the cloverleaf manuever. You will likely find all sorts of other useful info concerning the P-38 along the way. Google is also your friend. The information is out there, you just have to go get it. Don't expect everyone here to do the work for you, especially since you've brought some negative attention to yourself.

Most here are good guys and are usually more than happy to swap stories and info about their favorite rides. Dial the ego down a notch or two and put in a little effort to inform yourself and I think you'll see much warmer responses to your inquiries.

There is a book called Top Guns which is a collection of stories from various aces. The cloverleaf is described in detail by the P-38 ace that was interviewed for the book. It's a good read if you're into those antiquated bound paper thingies.

I know the basic idea of a cloverleaf, and have even seen a video of it in-game from one of the trainers.  Still, I never could figure it out.  I do use a similar maneuver myself, involving pulling back and easing up, but it never quite reaches a stall.  Whenever I try actually pulling back into a stall, even for a second, I lose all of my energy and shortly lose the fight.

Who are you? Honestly, for someone whos been around that long, ive never heard of you. Anyway, Im not going to lie to you, I didnt go out and research the P-38 like I do/did the Bf-109, the B-17G, and well, those two. The P-38 is not and probably will never be on the top of my list. I do love books, but im still only through 2 of the books corky was kind enough to send me, so it will be a little while until I get on to the P-38 books. The P-38 has just never been all that high on my list of priorities. Im just curious what the cloverleaf is, as I have never heard of it. But hey, since you dont want to do a quick explanation, Ill move on, and get back to enjoying my bombers.
