P-38G - Thunderstep Waltz
« on: August 14, 2015, 08:56:08 PM »
This is the most fun I've had in a while! "Well in a plane that can shoot back anyways"

What was originally a stale-mated 2 v 1 turned into a white-knuckled 4 v 1



The P-38's are the final aircraft set on my touring list and are also part of my personal plane-set. I don't get to use them in the main arena as much as I like but when I do I enjoy every minute!

Honestly... I thought about how much further into the fight I "could" have gotten if I was flying something like a La-5n/7, Twitfire, or even a yak-3... Sure it may have heightened the chance on the kills on the reversals and snap-shots but the pilot kill at the end quashed any of those ideas simply because even though the P-38G is a flying barn-door doesn't change the fact it WAS a pilot kill...
