Hyperion's P38 Screenshots!
« on: July 05, 2009, 03:17:17 PM »
I managed to dig up some good screenshots of my P38 sorties this past week. All the photos are in 1024x768 resolution. Lemme know what ya'll think!  :salute

Note: You are about to witness the sheer intensity of the P38 Lightning. Some images are graphic! Not for the faint of heart!  :devil

Good stuff.  The best ones to look for are when you are in your 82nd FG skin and you are knocking down German or Italian birds.

The 80th guys find it more natural to go hunting Japanese birds since the 80th was a 5th AF PTO squadron.  The historical look is so much better when the baduns are fitting for the historic 38 bunch you are representing :)

With the two skins Oboe did of 82nd birds you should be able to get some really nice shots.

Thanks Guppy.  :aok

When i get back airworthy I always go hunting for 109s and 190s, they're my favorite although i never leave without a bunch of missing parts!  :D

Great screens... other than the pony pwnage.

Didja ever notice how the Lightning, when looking at its front quarter view, seems to be twins laughing, or grinning?

Seems appropriate.  190D9 falling in pieces, 38 blowing by...er....wait!  In my case it's usually 38G falling in pieces D9 blowing by!

Nice screenshot :)

Picked this screenshot while me and my squad were escorting the 91st Bomb Group. That jug was lucky to strike a kill against one of our buffs, but I took him down before he felt too comfortable!  :devil

Heheh, unfortunately its rare for me to shoot down an Axis bird as they tend to either run away from me, or cherry pick me from afar!  :cry

I think you'll find, as you stick with the 38 more and get caught up in the history of the 82nd that you'll end up targeting LW birds first in a fight.  I know that some of us in the 80th just naturally go for the Zekes, N1Ks etc now.  It only seems right.  My last time up where that screenshot was taken, it was a carrier to base fight with all kinds of blue planes to go with the Zekes.  I ended up shooting 4 Zekes down even though I could have shot at many a USN bird.  Somehow I was attracted to the Japanese birds instead :)

Okay folks. Here is another compilation of screenshots that I managed to scrounge up on my recent P38 sorties. So here we go...


-Myself, Cavalier, and CrZyThNu climbing to meet the 91st BG on an escort sortie.


Unleashing my fury against a Kraut 109G6!


-But the fury rages on!


-This pony was being a jerk. So as he blew past me, I looked up and gave him the finger!


-My one and only "Kwitcherpis'n" giving a Spit16 some hell!
