I've been flying the 38G for a while...gotten good in it. landed 9 in one last night, anyway, Can someone help me a little in one? I want to learn it's advantages and disadvantages. One of you trainers and good in them? Tell me the times you are normally on in the TA and I'll try to log on for a bit.

Whatever you do, don't ask Dan. That'll be the end of your 38G right there

That's too funny.

On a serious note I'd also like to hear what folks have to say about the 38G. I can do okay in it, but I know I'm only flying to about half its potential.

I LOVE the 38G in the EW and MW, because it is UBER there, I just tend to avoid it because that bar in the front is just too hard to work around when a J or L is an option... But definately good plane to learn!

This is true, but it's almost guaranteed to be a glorious end against overwhelming odds.

And whats wrong with that? 38G is my baby

It's a Spit with 2 engines. Turns on a dime, takes punishment (which helps a poor pilot like me to no end), has two engines so i can go home on 1. had two rudders so I can go home with 1....well you get the idea.

And it has all that ammo, so a spray and pray type like me can shoot forever!

Don't listen to Serenity. 38G loves to fly in latewar too:D

Once that old G gets in your blood, there is no going back

Hit the page down key slightly to give more room.

FUEL MANAGEMENT in a P-38-G is very important, here is my cycle rate:

LA

RA

LM

RM

in this order.My usual fuel load out is 50% internal and a drop tank depending on patrol area and flight time.

Oh yea, Fester makes the Best 38 Skins hands down!!!!

Also looking for someone to fly the 38 in wings pack.

It's actually best to let the auto-fuel take care of it. YMMV

I love flying the G, the only thing that i miss is the WEP but have even gotten used to that. MY biggest problem is being overly agressive with it. Been flying it so long that i forget it really is a big plane that needs a little more finesse then some of the true turn fighters out there.

On a good day i can keep up with most everything that doesnt decide to WEP it and run, on a bad day... well i feel like i live in the silk.
