P38 Trials

[LYNX]

I tried out the p38 J/L last tour.  Sure enough I made all the mistakes.  Got it too fast too slow.  You name the errors and I probably did them but near the end of last TOD I started to get with it a little.  More kills to deaths for what that's worth.

My over all impression of the P38 Bloody pilot wounds puts it back in the box and walks away

lol....know the feeling Lynx.  When i fly my Hellcat, the first thing that ALWAYS gets damaged is my guns.  Doesnt matter if its ACK, or another plane.  Guns always go first.  Had a fight the other day where i lost 5 of my 6 .50 cals.  Just aint right!!

Yea I hate the pilot wounds in 38's.. I dug out the ki-84 to play with for this tour and it's another plane that suffers from lots of pilot wounds.

I wanted besides all else when joining the Ah community to be good in a 38. I'm not. My gunnery sucks. The only thing I am good at in it is dying. I do that quite well.

But boy is it something else to see someone fly it well.

SA is real important in the 38, and denying the bad guy a shot the biggest trick. Some guys like Hooch, and Del, Killinu are just awesome shots and pop guys on almost every pass. Others like Corky, Twin, and others are very good at jinking at just the right time to get out of the firering line...... well OK Dans might not be real good at it

LOL, you've got that right.  The bullets always find me

I'm designated as 38 bait for other 38 drivers.

lol cheeky barst**.

I often wondered why some guys fly defensively in 38's.  Either in the stratosphere or zoomy.  Often wondered why some of them ran seconds after the first shots are fired.

On reflection it's not too bad of a plane, fast, turnable with good guns but I don't want to have to run every time it's a 2 or 3 on 1, for fear of a PW.

It has it's place in AH but that place isn't D800 in front of a sprayer:rolleyes:

I have been wanting to learn the p38 for a while now.  I guess I'll just do what I did with the Ki-84, fly it till I'm almost sick of it!

Do the SAPP guys all get together on a certain night in the week?  I'd like to fly along with some of them sometime.

We are wayyyyyy to busy hindering game play, adjusting arena more to our liking, making sure the 38 is going to be prominently displayed in CT (thats the reason its delayed you know, having HTC redoing everything to revolve around the 38)

There is no real schedule, they try to get together at least once a month.

420 your more than welcome to fly along anytime. The other night when you asked... I was tied up. The next time I upped I looked for you and you had left. When I am on you can tag along or ride.  I am by no means an artist in a 38 but you can learn what not to do watching me.

cool, thanks shuffler!

P-38 sucks.  by far the worst plane in AH.
