Ok before I ask this ? would like to say this. I'm not trying to start fires or to really piss anyone off...
Ok my ? is

Is HTC  biased against P-38s??? Was talking with a few people (not gonna name names) the other day about the P-38.
And we were saying that HTC doesn't really care about the P-38.
Thats why these only one and certain things are missed modeled .
And any info we have stated about the P-38 has been dismissed.

So s HTC biased against the P-38??

Nobody from HTC.. Just some people from around the MA.. One even got a WW2 airplane expert to email HTC about P-38 and em a few things about the P-38 but it fell to deaf hears. I don't remember the name of the guy. I posted some stuff about the P-38 with creditable soucres but that also fell to deaf hears. But people rarely listen to me. Widwing has said that certain things were wrong but that also fell to deaf hears. All these people were just trying to help and to improve the P-38 but no one was listening.

I tend to agree Big.

I love the 38 and I will always fly it as one of my main rides but it would be nice to see some of the other types in the MA. Plus I would like to have Dive Brakes and not the pretty light we have now.

?!?!
What's wrong with you people?!
The P38 was and still is a great plane under AH. It turns very well, climbs good and is top speed is far from ridiculous.
I never understood all the squeaking around this plane, could you please explain me so I have an idea of what I'm missing?

Frenchy the 38 is the best plane in AH right.. Tho there is some things missed modeled. And it always seems to take a back seat to other planes. And what your talking top speed I have no idea about. The P-38L could reach 444mph at 25,500ft on WEP. Will post source later to tired to mess with it now.

"The P-38L could reach 444mph at 25,500ft on WEP."

Just like the P-51D could do 460 and the P-47D could do 470....


There are inflated performance numbers available for ALL WW2 planes, not just the P-38  :)    

There ARE questionable things with the P-38 in AH--in particular its dive flaps--but I'd say its speed and climb is spot on.

444mph:eek:

Where'd ya read that tripe?

The P-38L could make 414mph at best altitude.  30mph lower than the silly figure somebody fed you.
