Life in a P38

[bozon]

If you think the P-38 is bad, try the Mossie.  I've done both and the Mossie is the stronger magnet.

Bad?! this is one of the mossie's best features. Who needs the fastest plane when the targets come to you?

The ~loose deuce~ boys love my mossie. I fly around flashing the red "Moss" sign and the bad guys blow away their E to get a crack at me, while my squadies in their poss A8's get free shots at them

410 is even stronger magnet and it also cannot run, cannot evade and loses wings with a few shots, easy kill. Of course you do not know that since you do not fly it.

When my fellow green guy vox'ed "Where did they all go" It was so telling of how the other reds abandoned the fight with my fellow greens to chase down a P38.  

The 109 I engaged as it turned out, was the first of a horde of 109s and 190s.  It could be too the 109 driver called for help and the horde responded in a pack.  Loss of SA? Not this time.

When i pushed the P38's nose straight straight down, my thought was that most of the 109s and 190s would not want to blow off that much E in a pack attack.  I was wrong.

I've seen Latrobe in a situation like this.  He seems to use the ground as a way of limiting his exposure to attack then using the vertical and direction reversals to get shoots buy keeping the chasing horde off balance.

Nah, I prefer to fly fighters. 

The single sortie I did in the Me410 was an hour climb, followed by a dive to position on B-24s, followed by wife ack shooting me down..  No fighters got near me, but I can't say your statement sounds unrealistic.  It sounds dead on to me.

109+190 working in concert @ low-medium altitude = lethal combo


TnB with a 109 and you get blasted by BnZ 190

... or follow a 190 zoom climbing and you get caught by 109 on your tail

[Warmongo]

Was talking about a single engined aircraft. Thus your counter point is invalid as a whole.

Try a Ta-152

do that very effectively. Althought the baited sometimes gets hurt

life in a 38 is the only way

I must admit some of the Bish horde missions have been excelling at the only thing it is good for.

Is this ^^^ the Queens English or have you been drinking?


............Are you are trying to say the P-38 is only good for Hording?

not hording but a useful bomb / rocket truck.   Maybe HTC should re-classify it to B38.

They can climb high enough to be above defenders and if they evade the ground after drop, can smash it up into the ack or other un-wary flyers.

One day, "The Few" will grow up and become a squad.
