P 38 is ruined

[Treize69]

I'm no longer a hardcore P-38 driver, now just the occasional hop, but I will say that I definitely noticed a stall characteristic difference since the update.

Before, when I used to fly with the 475th in the MA, I only once (EVER) went into a tailslide-stall with it, and that was in a J. Every other time, it either flipped over onto its back or snapped the nose down. Very rarely it would flip over a wing and drop that way. Rarely spun.

Since the update, I tail-slid 3 times in ONE DAY, several times went into a reverse snap (rolled left in a right turn), and even stalled out on a short approach.

It also seems to mush a lot worse when pulling out of a dive or trying to snap the nose up, but that may just be me.

yeh ive noticed the major drag to, in the 2.06 patch i used 2 turn with a6m's in a spit mk1 (NOT a joke!) and most of the time out turn them, but now in the 2.07 i can just turn with them (depending on the pilot) and in most cases i do a horizontal turn going from speed of 85-100 mph(full flaps, NOT a joking) and the plane looks like its in a constant seizure, and now i can turn w/ a spit 16 in a 14 (bloody hard but possible) but this is a really good thing, the 16 was, and still partially is the ultimate n00b plane, and prob the most used spit in H2H
