just had my first engagement against a hurr2.

i was getting the upper hand on him in the vertical, but it seems like nomatter how many rounds i put into him i wasent damaging him :/  (had the 2 12.7mm package)

then we both went into a high speed dive. he was able to pull out of his but my plane wouldnt pull of fast enough and slamed into the ground.

i was going a little over 400mph.


i guess the c202 isent very responsive at speeds above 400mph?

I've never felt the C.202 was a match for any of the P-38s, even in a turn fight as the P-38 can easily gain an angle on a C.202 in an angles fight using vertical turns.

Your skill in the p-38 plays a big part in that. Lots of people really butcher the p-38's capability. Seen by MY perception where I hardly ever get in trouble against the 38. Just looked up my stats from the last 2½ tours and I'm 20:1 against the P-38s in my 202.
