The best kept secret about P-38s is their A2A capabilites once they finish their duty being a B-38  :t
The (perceived) slow instantaneous turns makes it up in almost-no-vice stability in sustained, near stalling speed turns

Honestly, the worst plane for that has got to be the Ju-87. The reality is that most enemies nearby will drop what they're doing to try to kill you, you'll meet at least one enemy in virtually all sorties, and theres always that one guy absolutely hell-bent on killing you.

Do you know how many time I purposely flew my Stuka into a cloud of enemies JUST to drag them down and to Trololol kill them with my cookie when they attempt to HO me? Its fantastic!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.
