I have to disagree with you here.The only real fault the P-38 has is amount of attention it gets from the reds. Put ten planes of different kinds on the red and green side. At least five of the ten reds will jump the P-38. That though can be a benefit since the red over fixates on the P-38 and becomes weak at that point.
Usually cause the 38 drivers are lofting/perched for a pick!
Unlike the 190D drivers who really get in there and mix it up?
