Do you think the P-38's handling qualities and turning reflects that of a real P-38? Although I don't think you'd be trying those alt-eating, buffet-inducing maneuvers in a real P-38
i'm not sure. i've seen shows that've talked of a pilot that got jumped by 4 or 5 me109's, and he pretty much out turned them, and was able to get outta dodge.
then there was that dogfights episode on the p38......but dogfights is about as good as the brady bunch movie.......
i don't concern myself with how they handled compared to the real ones.....i'm happy that htc takes all of their time and efforts to do what they do, but i mainly concern myself with what they aircraft do in here. what can i do better inmy p38 than you can in your spit9? or your me109? that's what i worry about.
of course, the other thing that's massive fun, if you like to experiment, i can prove to you that aluminum is magnetic.
fly in your 38 to the nearest furball. drop in, and start turning with them. every red guy in that furball will come after your 38.
