Thanks from the SAPP 38 drivers...

[Guppy35]

Haven't had a SAPP night in a while do to real life etc.  We got a decent amount of 38 drivers up tonite and had some good and some lousy fights.  The theme was PTO so we were looking for good screenshots of burning Japanese stuff.

Sadly there weren't as many Japanese birds up as we'd have liked but we got a few good shots.

Burning Zeke


Typical CorkyJr spot, upside down, 1K up or down as the case may be, shooting at a Ki-84.  Pulled out at 50 feet, but got him.


And thanks to many of you, my 38G was shot to pieces early and often.  One of the few times I got down.  Ready for the scrap heap

[Larry]

You landing..... Who are you and what have you done with the real CorkyJr?

[CAP1]

<<S>>

Was a good time.  I was only able to catch the tail end of it but still got in at least 2 missions.  It's quite a sight seeing a dozen or more P38s flying together.  So much firepower and impending doom .  It's a shame we owned everyone so much though, that we essentially were just a gang of 38s killing and picking everyone in sight.  A poor La7 comes to mind actually

the best part to us "noobs" to the 38 and LW, was the bits of advice thrown out to/for us.

here i was trying to gain alt, to try n engage one of the cons above me, and shuff, or del, or one of those guys comes on vox, sayin "cap...get down here, they'll come to us". for some odd reason, i listened. sure enough, they came to us. and i got one before i lost many many parts.

Yes I've died the same number of times I've killed, but I'm starting to learn it as well and so is your buddy lazy, he was landing kills left and right in it last night.

[gpwurzel]

Sad to say, I was probably one of your lousy fights Dan (apologies).

That said, flying thru those bombers landing made me laugh hysterically (had to hold fire for fear of kill shooting myself)

Was nice to see a couple of well flown 38's before I had to log tho

rather co-incindently, the b17 gave me the hardest time. i unloaded in him something fierce, but the dam thing wouldn't go down. it was a solo plane, and he gave me a pw 25 miles from home.

 the rest were in the mix of the fight, as were my deaths. 
i was surprised, at how different lw feels than mw does....but it might just be me though.
 

[Shuffler]

[lazydog]

I have found the 38 ammo load to be quirky at times.  You really have no way of knowing if your cannon rounds are hitting your target.  Sometimes I'll clip a plane and he tears apart while other times I'll unload into one and nothing!  It's just a quirky plane for a goofy bunch.

Indeed. I usually never fire cannon rounds unless I'm killing bombers or need an extra small punch for a plane that I can't down.

38G is my favorite 38.

Only ricer I encountered before I had to log off and get ready for work. Was fun though.
