Thank you.
yet it kinda catches fire rather easily, dont cha think?

if anything, the 38 has poor DM, LMGs can ridiculously remove its rather large and robust elevator, and its two tailbooms, with separate control runs share the same target box, meaning that what IRL would be a minimal chance for losing elevators or rudders happens WAY too often in game


RE: single engine speed on P38;

from a pilot operating manual:

(I) PERFORMANCE - The airplane flies well on one engine. Using normal rated power, it will climb to about 26,500 feet, and can be flown at more than 255 mph (true speed) in level flight at 20,000 feet.

and from a pilot training manual:

"You will find that the P-38 flies very well on one engine. Using normal rated power, it can climb above 20,000feet and have a TAS greater than 225 mph"




note that it says "normal rated power" = MIL power, not even pushing it to WEP
in-game we run almost constant WEP

380kph = 234 mph


the Bf 110 is simply not in the same league as the P-38 and should really not be compared
