are you trying to say you were not referring to the real world in the exchange above?
because the word "shouldn't" really is out of place if you were only discussing the game, or Mars.
if you are now trying to imply that real world capabilities were not on your mind,
then i am not sure which is more sad,
your feeble attempt to wiggle out from under your original statement with a gif,
or the lack of understanding that allowed you to post it in the first place.
p38 ???
I was responding to Stoke's post because I found it to be rather funny, especially since his sarcastic post seems to have gone completely above your head.
Yes, the P-38, in real life, had excellent vertical performance and due to lack of torque from its counter rotating props, had the ability to hang 'on its props' while in the vertical maneuver. Coupled with having two engines, good E retention, low stall speed and gentle stall characteristics and very easy stall recovery, all gave the Lightning excellent vertical performance.
So please, regale me with your 'experten' knowledge and tell me how the P-38 was not good in the vertical in real life and the P-38's vertical performance in the game is due to incorrect flight model. I'm sure you'll have just about as much success in proving yourself correct as you've had in your previous threads.
