    Hey guys, Started the revisit of USA Rank II and boy oh Boy am i having fun! P-400 was fun, Lightnings, Wildcats, Corsairs, Kittyhawks, its just too much ;) Overwhelming. But i choose a Lightning first, i really needed to revisit them. And oh it was fun! :) Hope you enjoy. Dont forget to Like the video, Leave me a Comment, SHARE it if you enjoyed it!

      Yeah. Great to see you in rank 2 american. I totally agree with you about this p38e. I win much more money with. i feel overhaul confident and usefull to the team. Airspawn, central weapons, firepower survivability.
      Almost every game begins with at least one bomber down. And i can fly with one engine down.
      Hope to see you in the p38g.

    I wasn’t really interested in American fighters other than the Corsair which I rushed to get when I came back to the game and it being an energy fighter I love it. I typically fly German 109s and I ran a few games recently where I had to dogfight a P38, and wow they spanked my behind so badly. So yesterday I finished researching and got my first p38 and it is so much fun and absolutely hits like a bus. VERY quick kills and has such great power to climb back up and even out turn most planes. I love it. Thanks for the review of the plane and all your work!

    Love the P-38E, such an effective beauty of a heavy fighter. With a bit of side climbing, you can do so well in it for very little invested effort as long as you don't get clipped somewhere important.

    • @jengar6258
      @jengar6258  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      absolutely, she's great, dont need too much sideclimbing, only on bigger maps.

    I'm glad you've been recording and teaching how to fly on these older models, sometimes the patches and updates changes alot on how you have to operate certain machines, hope you post more of these to people like me who can't afford to buy one helpful thingy or another but still grind hard to go up in the tech tree without paying a dime

    after playing the german fighters at first, the p-38s and spitfires felt like cheating to me.
    the climbrate was insane. and i never felt that with any 109, except maybe the F 🤗

    Out of all the American fighters, I'd have to say my all time favorite to fly out in the game would have to be the Lightnings. While I may call the XP-55 Ascender my baby, It doesn't quite compete with a Lightning in my mind

    I’m back! P-38E feels so blatantly opaf. With interceptor spawn it is almost guaranteed to be above everyone else. I played it on a reroll account and it’s so opaf that sometimes I forget about the speed limit and rip my wings when diving on the highest enemy. Absolutely opaf plane, highly recommend. Same goes for P-38G-1.

    I just cant seem to make the P38 work, If I dont get a clean shot on my first target, ill just have a 109 turn in on me and tear me down in the time it takes me to circumnavigate the earth as I turn towards the airfield

    I have no idea how this plane can come so easily to you, I’ve had nothing but trouble trying to use it. I guess it’s because I’m fairly new to the game, so maybe the p38 is just not noob friendly at all.

    • @jengar6258
      @jengar6258  ปีที่แล้ว

      i think that might be it. It rips in long dives like a yak, it cant turn, and she's a big target. She's unforgiving. But she's an interceptor, airstart, decent climbrate, 4 50 cals and a 20mm, centralised firepower, great energyfighter. Use what she has to offer and win.

    Does this aircraft match the P-39N-0 as historically the P38-E could carry bombs and rockets but it csnt in the game and the P39 beats it in every catagory except maybe armour. Is the P38 better than the P39 in any way

  • @laco9838

    Can you do all air to air missiles ranking, which of them are identical (aim 9j and P for example, or shafrir and aim9b) which are more consistent or easily distracted so it is easier for new pilots like me, because there are alot of variants of missiles, but some of them have identical stats and stuff, thank you

    READ THIS COMMENT IT HAS A GOOD TIP!!!!
    If you are in a plane that does not have a very powerful gun, going into the merge head on with another plane (like the p38 for example) with better guns than you is not a good idea to stay head on in the merge to hopefully shoot the other plane out before you even start the merge. instead, use maneuvers to make sure that the other plane does not hit you in the merge. Most of the time, when doing maneuvers, the plane will not hit you and you will be able to get in the merge. Usually, the way war thunder works is that planes either trade gun power for turn time or turn time for gun power. This means that when entering the merge, your turn time will be greater than the opponents plane and you can get the kill. If you are going into a merge with a plane that has the same gun power as you, the choice is yours to either maneuver or go head on. If you are in a plane that trades turn time for gun power, (like the p38) it is best to stay directly head on with other planes as the P 38 Canon can destroy planes quickly. Although, like I said earlier, this means your turn time is not as good as the opponents, this means that you have to make sure you destroy the opponents plane before having the merge. This is usually pretty easy to do unless the player knows how to maneuver, but not many people know how to so yeah. considering the immense fire power of the P 38, it's pretty likely you will get the kill before the merge begins. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and I can gladly answer for you.
