After hearing you p38 chimps droning on and on about 38 stabilty in the vertical :aok I finaly ran into someone who put it into practice! and a fight lasting a good 15mins which ended in my poor k4 going into a gentle flat spin and augering :rofl but one of the most enjoyable fights I've had! :rock :salute
blshar <<<<<< this man is dangerous :aok

The P-38J is one of my new favorite planes. The thing is a beast as long as you don't lose a fan. :aok

was an L he was flying :aok
I just thought it was a great example of how stats turn rate etc dont really matter if you use a plane right. k4s usually excel in that kinda fight and fighting the inside line for a snapshot but by always turning to the right I couldnt use the engine torque to roll the plane and gradually got the energy sucked outta me :rock them heart in your mouth fights dont come along often enough in this game.
:salute

Stats on the L are misleading because so many take them up because of the amount of ords it can carry to hit a base. Most of those types can't fly it in a fight. The J carries better stats because most who fly them are heading to a fight and know more how to use them.
-
Yea seems people who fly the L are the people who think the last plane type on the list is the best. Kinda like when you see people flying the 190F like a dora. Then when you tell them it was a ground attack version they think you're lieing to get them out of thier uber plane. I like the feel of the J and adding to it is the great skins fester did for it. If ENY gets to high then Ill play corkyjr-jr and grab a G but overall Im a PJer.

They're right, the L model is the best out of the three. Shuffler hit the mark square on the nail, it's not about whether or not people think the L is better, it's because the L can carry more ordnance.
ack-ack

Thought that was nail square on the head. :D
-
I fly the J. Nuff said :P
-
Actually, I was in the 38J. Count me among the few that prefer the feel of it over the L.
Was a truly great fight pervert. :salute Fights like those are what keeps me coming back for more after all these years. Just wish I'd have filmed it. :frown:
And for those people transitioning from other flight sims, make sure you set your joystick scaling right. After struggling for a more than a few months, changing the default slider settings to what I ran in warbirds has made a world of difference in the ability to ride the edge of the performance envelope. I want to smack myself for not realizing my mistake in setup earlier.

I bet you in a P-38 vs P-38, ROCKY would dominate :P

I know the L is better but IMO I think the J is the best 38.

The P-38 is an alright plane, not sure if I would ever fly it though.
-
I rarely fly them but It is a very fun plane and in the hands of the skillfull, deadly!
