I fly it a lot.
I'm not very good in it though.
I suck in it actually.














I suck in everything actually. :(

90% of the time that is my ride and it is what I do best in, but I don't consider myself one of the better P-38 sticks. Just don't get enough time online.

I used to fly the 38G VERY often and got pretty good in it, buit latley I've been upping some spits and such just for a change of pace and quick base defense.  I'll be back in the 38 soon though.  Only one I fly really is the G.

I fly the 38 when I want to do a buff run. I wish HT would lets us have formations of 38's for level bombing.

I thought it was a bomber, though?  I mean comeon, it has two engines.  Anything that has two engines has to be a bomber... why no formation??

:huh :cry

I would fly the G a lot if not for that horrid armor glass. I dont know if its just the way I fly, but when I reverse and set up for one of those really close snapshots as they pass in front of you, its EXACTLY where I naturally set the enemy plane up for the shot. I want to like the G but I can not come to terms with that awful glass.

I don't even notice it anymore.  It's interesting that when i get in an L or a J the view bothers me cause I'm used to the G.  Just took time i guess.

And I like those snapshots you refer to :)
