Again? I never said that short range interceptor was the only role for a fighter, that's an interceptor's role. Straw man argument.

What fighters could do the job better than the p38? Besides most of the japanese, german, soviet, uk and italian single engine fighters, the p47, the f4u, the f6f. Even for photo recon peeps didn't like the p38. Even if a twin engine fighter was able to compete with a single engine fighter it would still be a bad idea. Imagine if all the time and resources that the americans wasted on trying to make the p38 into something were instead put into developing and manufacturing the viable single engine fighters already available. How many p47s could have been made for every p38 that was built?

Yep, p38 was caca.

Floob sounds like one of those players that always gets his arse out flown by someone in the P-38 and is lashing out.

You are hearing me now? Ack-Ack seems like one of those schizophrenic players who hears voices and always plays a p38 and uses the word arse even though he's american. You should be medicated man!
