After shooting a lot of these planes down it doesnt make sense to me either. I try to hit pilots in the 38 and its always the tail that falls off first. Only in profile view have I ever hit a pilot but mostly its wings and tails. The P38 is my favorite plane to drop on CVs with because it climbs so good has a dive flap and is stable while diving. In the P51 the trim adjusting can take so much time the five inch gunners start firing before Im aiming right unless I adjust for a high rate of speed before even trying. If I get a pilot wound in those cases I just ditch it.

The P38 can deack from 10k you know and it has ten rockets so two of them and any field is out of guns!  :D

I went through a bunch of film and it seems that AA and cannon cause most of my PW's in the 38.

They don't fly well that way. Wrecks the aerodynamics. Besides, the wind blows my booze around, and knocks the fire off my cigar. :D

Well... they now make all weather lighters, I'm sure that'd work...

And I know at least SOME modern fighter planes (seen 'em in f15s... true...) have cup holders, so, just a LITTLE modernization please?

need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
