To all the great AHII fliers who had helped me so very much with ur advice, which I took to heart & practiced offline for quite a few hours, I'm grateful to you for ur un-
selfishness with ur recommendations  ... it works ... now all I've to do is to perfect
my technique in divebombing, rocket firing & controlling the P38, angle of attack,
etc.. & so forth.   :aok   :D
The p38 gunstar sight I didn't like, however, the p51 gunsight listed by Uptown is
my preference, have to get used to so many things to do it right   :)   Well now that
my thanks are expressed.... it's back to practice .... practice ... & ... more practice !   :salute

..........A good approach angle is approx 60 degrees. It's easy to determine by looking straight ahead and rolling your wings to 60 degrees. A secret to the correct approach path is to always take the 60 roll in from a point on your plane........

Thanks for that Ren  :salute. I have always had an issue with achieving a consistent approach angle, and used to just 'wing it'. Never occurred to me to use roll for setting up the approach, doh! :D

What are these bombs and rockets of which you speak?

All I fly is the P38G and I don't know what you are talking about :huh

Now if you want to discuss Torps for the town, I think I can help :)
