Most under-rated fighter?

[BigPlay]

P-38.

Your joking right? I guess you never had your head handed to you by the 38 brotherhood. To me that's the plane I hate fighting against the most. Most guy's flying them know how to use them well  and if they have alt on you ....well forget it unless your in one of the faster rides and can run back to momma.

A well flown FM2 can take you buy suprise. Just ask anyone who has fought Slapshot.

i have killed so many p-38s, ya its a good plane in its role, but why any one would try to turn fight my hurri in a 38 is  beyond me.

now im not saying you cant kill my hurri in a 38, heck ya you can if you use it right, but most don't, they think for some reason they can out turn it.
and 99% of them die.

P-38.

For someone that has probably some of the most flights and hours in the P-38 in AH, I can say it's not under-rated.  It might be under appreciated, incorrectly used and flown by most but definitely not under rated.

Kinda like asking why a Hurri pilot would turn with a Zeke too isn't it?

Probably because you'd be mad if they didn't

4 20mms and a turner like that is tough for any other bird to hang with low and slow.  I can tell ya that a certain 38G dweeb will give it a try anyway

Agreed.  Not underrated.  It does take some time to learn the ropes, but if you stick with it, the 38 is a great bird.

For some reason, no matter if i know the plane im up against can outmaneuver mine, I always wind up fighting them

Ki61

long range, Great nose mounted cannons, good maneuverability, control in a dive, enough speed to force a fight with a little E, and most people don't know how to fight it because they don't fly it.

Perhaps thats what I meant to say.

There are alot of pilots that underestimate the 38s capabilities and often get caught out for it. Maybe that's more correct for what I was getting at.

[SPKmes]

I underestimate none... each plane in the right hands is killer, and you don't know that till it's up in your text buffer. The plane I hate the most is the zeke...and GRIM's hurri

[Gixer]

Hey SPKmes,

Where in Auckland you from? I'm originially from out west Waitakeres.

Back to topic, everyone knows the Yak-9T is the sniper and most under-rated/under-estimated fighter. All others are just uber girly planes with little guns.
