i got lots of respect for the p38 drivers, jealous of the blender.  but p38's are fun to fight when you do the unexpected, otherwise expect to die, specially for a dweeb pony driver like me  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Or a compression dweeb like me.

Good for attack, but come from too high, or too fast, you compress and you're out!

 :bhead

Of course, I tend to be a compression dweeb in anything as I have a terrible time with distance and straffing.

I thought BigR was one of the better 38 drivers but I guess he didn't make the cut?

I remember him more in a pony, so I ran his numbers. Of his 28,000 kills almost 9000 were in the pony. The P38J was just under 4000.

One of my favorite films is of him getting a bunch of kills in a pony P51luls.ahf

A 38 is only an issue if it has alt on you and is flown by one of those listed pilots..

Any other 38 is just another burning wreck or soon to be one

Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod

I remember fighting him a couple times in a 38, not so much in a 51.

I'm interested in how you got those numbers.

I wonder if Merlin from AW used the same callsign here. I remember he was one of the better 38 drivers in AW

If I'm jumping out it's because one of you dirtbags broke my plane.

I have spatular's program he made years ago. My son reworked it so it works again. I can punch in a name and the start tour and end tour and it will pull all the stats for HTC servers all by its self and tally the data, so you dont have to do each one and then tally it your self.

Whats your in game name and do you remember which tour you started playing at?
