P-38 kill ratio...out of whack.

[MjTalon]

L rolls better at low and high speeds than the J which helps tremendously. A lot of the guys who use the L as purely for attack sorties are highly underestimating the ability of the aircraft in air to air engagements. She's just like the J except she rolls much better and that makes the difference in a dogfight.


I fly the L exclusively since I'm a former 190 stick and utilizing the roll rate to out maneuver bandits was a must since you couldn't use pure turning maneuvers.

Vink, check your PM's.

Hope they explain the 38 a bit more to ya. 

roger Talon will do.

Thanks

I do realize that the 38 departs later and possibly not at all if flown correctly. But I'm talking about chasing a P38 at nearly similar speed in level flight and he pulls vertical and I pull up after him.

If these conditions are true, you will catch him.

Vinkman if you want to join me in the TA sometime we can compare the P-38 with assorted aircraft for zoom and stall performance.

Roger Shuffler I do need to spend more time in this plane. It really seems like has many more dimensions to it than the single engine fighters. I ust need to mentally get ready to flop around like fool for a while until I figure it out. So hard to go backwards

They are free...... flop around all you want
