The vast majority of targets you shoot in this game have no idea how to fight, so using Batfink or yourself as an opponent does not reflect on the actual ease of use.  The fact is that the P-38J and even more the P-38L are very easy to succeed with.  They have few vices and a lot of strengths.  They are not as easy as the Spit XVI or VIII or N1K2, but they are easier than the Ki-84.

actually, if the 38 were so easy, then 2 excellent pile-its doing the experiment they did, would've proven your point,......when 2 excellent pile-its jump into an airplane, and try to fight in it....unsuccessfully at that...against each other, it proves, that yes martha, it is a difficult airplane to fight in.

Well maybe you'll encounter one that doesn't run one day.  Then we'll see how you do.  :)

LOL  I guess you need two blenders in case one of them gets shot out.  Right?  Isn't that the way you B-38 ppl think? 

Uh... yeah... that's the ticket  :D

I'll have to disagree. Put two equal pilots in a fight, Ki-84 v P-38 and the Ki will win. I also feel the Ki-84 is easier to fly, unless you're dumb enough to put it in a dive.

The ones that turn never seem to cause too much of a problem  :)

Nope. Each pilot would each use thier aircraft to thier strengths and
one would come out on top simply because that one did not make
an error..

And if neither pilot makes an error then they'll come to a draw cause
a 38 pilot won't go for the 84 game and vice-versa.

a Ki-84 will out climb (or atleast climb with) , out roll, out run, and out turn a 38. with two equal pilots, the Ki-84 will win.

Yeah, the Ki is much easier to fly than the 38.  Me and suns are generally equal pilots and we did 10 p38 vs ki84 duels 5 each and switched and it wasn't even close.  Ki84 blew the 38 out of the water.  Score 8-2 and the 2 the 38 did win was when he cut throttle and sold out to a shot and luckily connected.

Both planes are very similar in the fact they both have great stability perfect for mouse flying pilots, aka Lazer in the 38 and Rud3boi in the Ki.

the only time i generally encounter ponys in mw, is guys that have the time to climb above the fight, then they pick, time after time.

 when they lose their alt and/or e-advantage, then decide it's time to extend about 1.5 sectors, and await the right time to come back and pick some more.

 i forget who it was, but there was a good ponyb stick in mw for awhile. he turned that thing like nobodys business. it was amazing to see, even though he was kicking my cartoon arse.
