Hey yall out there i'm a total newb to this game wondering if theres a squad out there i could join or if some of the best pilots out there would like to go 1on1 inthe training room every now and then and teach me how it's done. You'll get some target practice and i'll get my butt kicked but i want to learn something. Also i'm a big p-38 nut so i would'nt mind someone who knows somethin about that to help or joining a squad thats P-38 organized anyway thanks see you in the game, Probably in front of your gunsight thats where i usually end up lol! thanks:cool:

Hi Ledpig,
Try this forum: http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19
Place to look if you want to join a squadron, plenty post there looking for members!

If youre into that "bomber" ;) go looking for the 475th FG Satans Angels. Im not sure if they are recruiting, but they fly P38 a lot and can teach you a lot about it. They are all good guys - even though ill deny under torture I ever said that. KillnU is squad CO, they are hunting for the Knights right now.
Silat is in that squad, as well as in the Training Corps. See if you can hunt him down.
I cant fly the P38 well, but i can maybe show you a thing or two in another plane if youre interested. Just call me on this offer if you see me online (in the Training Arena or in the Main).
Welcome to Aces High Ledpig :)!

Its not you. Bombers were never ment to dogfight
-
Yea i don't think the actual P-38 is an actual bomber either i just think the flight model is screwed, we're getting a bad representation so don't judge the P-38 or any other real plane because of this:rolleyes:
-
the 38 has the nicest buffet at low speed with just aliron input. That seems real. :rolleyes:
-
Oh yea the buffet on these planes is totally real, i gotta get i a force feedback stick, and that new thing the butt kicker that shakes your seat in response to game action then i'd be having too much fun!!!!:D

First, going call the 38 a bomber first look at the jug. :p
I have seen pics and have pics somewhere in my pictures folder of 38s in formation getting set for level bombing. A lead 38 was equipped with a norden bombsight and its nose guns removed. When the lead 38 dropped its eggs the others following would as well.

man the 38 is a queen i wish i could fly with the 475th to learn more about it ever since the patch i can only BnZ well in it but dogfighting multiple cons is tough for me unless im in a Spit:p :cool: :D Spit 16 should be perked i meen last night i got about 6 planes to auger on the deck trying to get me and went home to land 10 kills:lol :O so ya i need 38 dogfighting tips and wouldn't mind flying with the 475th.
(They just seem to take out the whole LCA raids all at once while i get to kill 1 bomber:furious )

Dedalos, you know well enough i suck brightly in EVERYTHING, buff or not ;).

In all seriousness, I suggest you move around some, and try flying with different squads, there are any number of squads that are willing to take new players in and show them the ropes. Find a squad where you feel you fit in, and they'll probably feel the same way. If the feeling is mutual, it won't be long before you get an invitation to join.
I'd also suggest you hit the training arena, and get some lessons on the P-38 from Widewing. You can also try working with Silat, but I fear you are far too young and impressionable to survive exposure to Silat without serious emotional scarring.
You might look in the help and training section of the board here, and download the P-38 films found there.
The 475th and the 479th may be the closest to a P-38 squadron, if such exists. Although I do fly the P-38 (not so much lately as I've been working on other things) a great deal normally, I don't fly with either group, although I have flown with the 475th just to tag along.
The P-38 is a very difficult plane to truly master, I've never really mastered it myself, I am barely mediocre, at best. It takes a long period of devoted work and practice. It is probably NOT the plane to start with, especially with the problems evident in the current iteration. Maybe when the next patch comes out things will change.

Hes allright if you can overlook his wearing fishnets and refreshing his makeup during fights :).

I thought this was a conversation about airplanes? no? Do construction materials with wings count?

Savage, now that the 38 has been porked with its flaps its almost like having to relearn the whole bird again. Same with now not being able to use autopilot to get out of dives.

Yeah, well, I never was that good anyway. I didn't use autopilot to pull out much. I did notice the flap issue the other night. I was landing and dropped that last notch. I almost pancaked it before I remembered the flap bug. Full power, WEP included, wouldn't keep it in the air. Had to change my flight suit.
