It flies with both wingtips and ailerons missing! Couldn't do that before. Some guy chased me halfway across the map to kill me before I could try and land it, so there is still testing to be done. But it's a good sign! :)

Isn't that something like the Rolls Royce of SAPP planes?
-
That's got to be the best looking 38 pic you've ever posted :lol
-
What no smoke not even a little? How the heck did u lose just the ailerons?
-
Guppy IS Ted Nugent!
"Wahahahahahahaha
you got to pretend baby
that your face is a
B-38-ati, B-38-ati B-38-ati, B-38-ati
Wahahahahhaahahaha
Now it's time to
put your B-38-ati away....

Got a video of me landing a B-17 after flying a sector with only halve of each wing. :airplane:
-
ohh new bomber update to come with the mossie! nice!
-
And here I thought that the new upgraded blenders had arrived :neener:
-
looks alittle like my 38 except for the pilot wound and the fire. nicely done though :aok
-
In the name of decreasing drag and increasing aerodynamic efficiency, all 38's should henceforth be clipped as such.
:D
-
The next step is to put the hinges in place before replacing the outer wing and adding arresting hooks, thus rendering the P-38G CV worthy.

Doolittle already showed that you can fly bombers from CVs. :bolt:

That's an excellent point, they couldn't land... but then again I never do either. :)

I was gonna say............ :rofl
-
Oh I'm jealous. Always wanted to lose both wing tips. That has got to be the holy grail of part loss while maintaining flight!
-
I've managed just about all the different combinations of damage that can be done to a 38 I think. My previous best, in my mind anyway, was the double engine fires. But this was the first double wing loss and still flying effort.
I'm so proud :aok
-
Child's play in a Schwalbe :devil
I do it all the time :noid
Landing one in that condition however, is a completely S.A.P.P. inspired experience :rofl
:salute
-
This definitely trumps duel engine fires. I've done that maneuver several times, but this... whole other level.
-
Without sounding disrespectful....... Are you sure it just wasn't you that could not do it? Never happened to me in a Lightning but I've landed successfully in several craft not having wingtip's. (262, P47m, 109k4)

I can't say what a double tipping feels like on the controls, but a 38 missing a tip loses much more authority than the other birds you mentioned. (In my experience, anyway)

I thought about that the other day and had to try it.
You can actually take off a carrier now in a B - 25H with 3K in bombs and 25% fuel. Any more fuel than that though and your toast :lol

No question that my 38 flying is suspect, but in years of breaking 38s, I've never kept one in the air controllable with no wingtips or ailerons before. Considering I've scattered more cartoon 38 parts then any 5 cartoon 38 pilots combined, it was a surprise when it kept flying. :)
I know 262 guys have done it, but I've never run across it in our cartoon AH 38 til now

I've never done that in a P-38, but I was able to ascertain that further reduction of the Dora's wingspan doesn't help maneuverability. :)

ummm Dan, where is the oil? fire? tree limbs stuck to the canopy? SAPP is losing it

You can take planes bigger than that off a cv.

I'll have to post of my film but I took off from a CV in a B24 with 8 x 1000lbers, 50%, and only 3 engines. :D
-
Theirs no smoke or flames, im dissapointed lol :P
-
I was a victim of SAPP tonight :noid I tried to make the B38 into a flaming B38, but instead he reversed and filled my cockpit with lead!
-
Pitiful.....just plain pitiful. I deduct 1 points for lack of flames. One point for lack of smoke. One point for unbent props. One point for elevator. One point for each tailboom. One point for the assumed intact gear. One point for lack of a pilot wound. One point for no visible bullet holes. I will add one point for each missing wingtip/airelon combo. i also am subtracting 2 points for you being proud of this gross lack of damage. i score this as a 1 on the S.A.P.P. scale. I suggest blender cleaning detail for one week, or until you obtain a photo of more "proper" damage...and not an old pic either mister.
