Thanks OIO

Yeah got to get used to ammo count been spraying more last few days, after I realized after 5 A2A kills and 2 vulches I still had 1000 mgs and 43 cannon rounds left.

This thing is fun as hell to fly you can fight with anything, looping with spits and stuff having full control while watching the stick yanker spit struggle to keep his nose up before you kill him.  Only bad part is I seem to be a con magnet in it.

I have read in other threads and in talking with other P-38 fans in the MA...  Some 38 jocks have said they fly with the light ammo load because it gives the 38 a lighter nose...  I personally take and need every bullet I can get.. ;)

Do any of you guys notice any handling difference with the lighter ammo load ?

If there is an advantage of taking the lighter ammo load, I haven't seen it in the P-38.  From my experience in flying the thing in AH, it doesn't make the P-38 more maneuverable.  You're better off taking the 2000 rounds loadout, you can never have too much ammo.
