Yea.... I'll agree w/this. It'll be good for the early war set as well... get a version w/out dive breaks. I'm still not sure IF our version now has dive breaks that actualy do what they did in RL though.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

And while their at it, how about adding this to 1.11 too.....



Oh, by the way, the original Fester Addams spelled his name with two Ds. ;)   Any explosions in the basement lately? :D

P-38 didn't have dive brakes but rather dive flaps and yes, at high speeds they will give you close to a 4 degree nose up lift.

Here's a picture that shows the dive flaps deployed, as well as the 'Fowler Flaps" (i.e. combat or maneuvering flaps).  The P-38 in the photo has been painted to look like Bong's P-38J but actually is a P-38L.

I can honestly say the P-38 is the most frustrating ride in AH for me.  I would love to fly it and be good but its so not happening.( yeah i know i suck)  I am absolutely baffled at how good some of you guys are in it. I think if you are good in a P-38 in here you are one of the best. I personaly think AKAK is the best I've seen in it. No offense Fester. Just one mans opinion.   to all you P-38 drivers. :D

AKAK, teach me how to fly it!:D

Just curious as to what gave her away as an L?  I've read that the major change was in engines, along with the "Christmas Tree" rocket launcher, from the P-38J-25's.  Of course, the launcher, like the earlier dive flap modification kits, were retrofitted to earlier J's.  I understand that there were three Marge's, the first being P-38J-15 42-103993, lost March 24th, '44, when Lt. Malone bailed out after mechanical difficulties.

I love the P-38, it's a beautiful bird.  I've picked up quite a few books & unit histories on her over the years, but my favorite would probably be Martin Caidin's "Fork-Tailed Devil: The P-38", which I'm happy to see has been reprinted yet again.  :)

I love her, my ride of choice, but alas I'm not very good either, Slash.
