tshred, I think Rip was saying that someone on AGW thinks the AH P-38 is uber.

And if you believe that, I've got this piece of ocean front property in Nebraska I'd like to sell you....

Cita is overmodeled!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
(For those who don't know Cita, he can do stuff in the P38 that only you and I can dream of, think of Drex, or Jagr...then you know who Cita is)

He flies very high in the p38, flies very smart , and runs when the odds are against, smart flying IMO.

Citabria...

I flew your wonderful P-38 in the med thingie for two weeks...I have the utmost respect for your skills...being that I'm just a 51 jock, not being able to see anything and perform as you have deserves a big <S> (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Now if Cita would only give up ditching in a perfectly good A/C when he knows he gonna die, and quit changing countries when the odds outnumber him, then he'd have my respect!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I love the game and its addicting as hell but I have to much exciting real world flying stuff happening lately and had to quit cold turkey.

 Wow. That would have been nice if you'd passed that on to your squadron in the Med League or maybe even have graced me with the courtesy of an answer to an email I sent you about a week and a half ago in regard to that.

LOL, shoulda posted the link first post Rip!

BTW, where can I get one of the P38's Daff is refering to?

One other thing, it sure is amazing how passionate people are about their online flight simming. I've sure been getting a kick outta the boards with all this pricing stuff going on.

Thanks for misquoting me, Rip  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

(I remember the long and loud threads about the P-38 when it first arrived in AH...and oh yes, pretty much the same threads we had in WB 1.11 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))

 When I first started WB (I think it was  WB 1.11),there was a 38 driver  that would rack up unbelevable kills/sortie in the 38.His handle was 2b2b.If I came across a 38 that just flew circles around me before the kill,it was invariably 2b2b.
 I was a 38 l dweeb at that time as it was a great plane for newbies and the WB 38l has since been de-tuned from its WB1.11 uber -modeling. It used to amaze me to see this guy wade through the hordes of Spitfires laying waste in his wake.
 Hmmm...am also recalling Dude...or Dood? repeatedly whoopiing on me in a p-38.

I dare to say that I did fly 190A8 more agressively when I did 240 kill streak, than Cita does fly any plane in AH.

Bytor, I liked P-38J alot, but I never liked L much  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
In J i got into top 10 streakers list  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
That plane did kill Spitfires even in turn fight back then  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  (try kill spitfires in anything else than spitfire when turn fightning when it comes to AH..)

 I use the Zeke and I LOVE it when a Spit (or any other plane)  comes and tries to turn fight me.

Yeager has 12 kills and has been killed 3 times against the P-38L.

All things considered, the P-38L is the least
of my worries in MA AH.

The P-38 is definitely not uber, although all it needs is some blue paint and a tailhook and then it would be.

It's like Animal said a man's plane
 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

beginning to explore the higher altitudes it is a great fighter. don't expect to get simple ping kill in it .
Yesterday i went in fight with a lanny at 25 K
had to comeback for it 4x ping ping png.

I saw all damage that could be modelled before it went down I got him in the end over the city i lost one engine my cannon and two MG's and i got him with that.I'm glad i was not in a supergunned plane i would miss all the fun.

also i win against niki above 25K 10-17 for me hehe
 yes i die alot but it get's better the more u fly it

the p38 made most american aces and some Niki pilots saying to me the wish to see me in a real fighter don't know what they talkin about.

Is there any topic that you will not try to relate to your Beta 190 kill streak?

"the p38 made most american aces "

I believe the P-47 had that honour.

 Hmm. No sure about the P-47 having the most aces but it had the Lions share of the TOP scoring aces.

The Hellcat spawned the most American aces.

1300 American pilots became aces, 371 served in the US Navy and 124 in the Marine Corps.
The reason for the Hellcat creating the most aces is because the USAAF used over 8 differnet fighters--the Navy only 3 over the course of WW2.  307 pilots became aces in the F6F and 275 Aces in the P51.  Hellcat losses were high though, 450 aviators were lost, among them 20 aces.

From "Hellcat Aces of WW2" Osprey.

Hmm..It *could* be the number I heard was for Europe only...certainly there was far more 47-aces than 51. (Guess it depends on how you count them, as a lot of 51 pilots flew the 47 first)

190a8 vs p38
11 kills 4 deaths
190a8 vs p51
8 kills 3 deaths
 
guess that means i dont need to worry too much about them either

190a8 vs c47

0 kills 1 death  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
i gotta worry about those c47's :P

The point is that comparing the AH P-38 FM problem to the WB P-38 FM problem is like comparing a headache to a grapefruit sized brain tumor.

What does the crew have to do with it?  I couldn't care less who's name is on the box.  Price and product.  That's all I care about.
