From players that can't shoot very well in the P-38.

My strafe run patterns look exactly like that when I strafe in the P-38 but then I'm not a crappy shot.  :devil

convergence? did you see that P-38 against the trees!  so cool to see he was shooting under his flight lead.  kinda scary with kill shooter off and also knowing the bullets ricochet.

still amazing the point their plane to shoot, at such low altitude.  the balls or ignorance is quite large.

 :salute

Good video. Takes practice and patience to hit ground targets. Gotta know when to pull up too.   :D
