Yep straffo, and it is a super-turner compared with my usual ride: 190.

Tiffies climb is also very poor, hi-alt performance non-existant and it's rate of roll horrendous compared to the F4U. It's inferior in every respect apart from deck top speed.

FW190 has enough advatages over the Tiffie to make any fight an interesting one, usually decided by pilot skill IMO.

Well, the P-38's single hispano is only effective up to d400 or so, ive never been able to hit anything with it at long range.. maybe not enough guns to put enough 20mm smackers to spray a target at long range.

The spit's 2 hispanos does allow it to spray a bit, some pilots even have it as their only way to get a kill.

Mossie's 4 hispanos are murderous, and the plane is fast. But its also big as heck and quite poor in vertical performance, and F4U will eat a mossie just as long as the hog dont HO it or pass by its nose. Extremely generous ammo load.

Tiffie dont have enough ammo to have the luxury of wasting it on sprays.
