The landing reminded me of the film "Battle of Britain" when an inexperienced pilot lands just like that and the other pilots chime in with "you can teach monkeys to fly better than that!". Great video :)
"Bumps-a-daisy. It's enough to make you weep".
Man, I’m glad you got an escort mission, I feel like every lightning video I’ve ever scene is a ground attack mission. Which I guess makes sense for this late late in the war, but still nice to get to see it do what it was built for.
When I was a boy, I always wanted a P-38 as my personal plane, simply because I thought it was the coolest looking World War 2 fighter.
Same. It was always the model I wanted to build. Don’t think I ever finished one though. I did a really big B-17, and a huge Enterprise Refit, but for some reason I could never get a P-38 done.
it wasn't the best fighter but it would definitely be the best personal ride out of all the single seat fighters because you can do so much with the air frame including add extra seating
One of my favorite airframes from WWII. Love it almost as much as the F4U and the BF-109.
Taft, I have a tip that might help you with p38 landings. You kind of have to land it like a carrier plane, power off, gear down at 150, full flaps on final, and trim nose up to place the pipper on the threshold at 1/4 from the runway when the plane is in a level attitude. Modulate your throttles to control your rate of descent. If you find that you are coming in a bit hot, pop your dive recovery flaps out to induce a bit of extra drag and give the stick a bit of a nose down push to counter the pitch up tendency that the dive flaps cause. Also, make your approach with the props set to max continuous rpm of 2650. She won’t be as slippery on glide slope that way. Hope that helps.
More P-38 flights please
Little known fact - the P38's landing gear was designed by the same bloke that invented the pogo stick.
I feel like you should think about a super cut, knitting clips from IL2, Uboat and Atlantic fleet into a narrative seamless piece of gameplay…
Cool idea!
Watching that landing, I was getting the signature tune of "Skippy The Bush Kangaroo" wafting around in my head!
great kills and the bounces were entertaining too.
In a 38, all right!! 👍👍🏴
Great to see the 38 flying combat missions.
Whoops-a-daisy....Its enough to make you weep
That's one of my favorite lines; as good as teaching monkeys.
@@mikhailiagacesa3406 Its my favourite film. As soon as I saw him do it, I said it out loud.
I literally can’t stop laughing at those landings! 😂😂
Another great video Taff, thank you.
6:22 that pilot was was quite nonplussed considering his face being blasted in flames. A very leisurely bailout.
Re landing in this, fly an extended runway centreline then fly parallel to the ground say 10' high before the beginning of the runway with the power at idle while looking at the far end of the runway. Focus your vision on the far end of the runway and use your peripheral vision to arrest the sink by raising the nose slightly until it settles on the main gear. All you're trying to do is fly in ground effect to bleed off speed. Floating is a big problem for some aircraft.
Pitch for speed. Power for descent.

Taff love the videos like always and keep up the awesome content
Nice flight, think you coud do one video about the bf 110 ?
Oh yeah! Forked Tail Devil baby!
Taff weather - full of lightning strikes 😄!
5:35 Looks like the bombers released their bombs just a bit too early and didn't land any hits on the undamaged portions of the factory. At least they didn't hit the town though.
Don't bury the nose. Great cinematic mission.
17:48 🎶Thunderbolts & Lightening, Very, Very Frightening 🎶
Well kangaroos can also provide a pretty formidable knockout punch, so who's the real winner here! 😏
Watched and 👍 Liked
Outstanding mission I truly enjoyed this video, you had to know you landing speed was too fast. Land on the back wheel, practice.
Those bombers couldn't have hit an elephants arse with a cricket bat 👎 and you had to escort the silly buggers 🤔
Oh good, so it's not just me who can never get her to slow down before landing, and bounces her a 5 year old's birthday party.
When you come in to land, where *are* the breaks, even innit... ?
yeh they were very powerfullaircraft, they lost one or two of them when their pilots inadvertently broke the sound barrier, you need to really adjust the prop pitch right back on landing you were going at a great rate of knots there.
Compressibility curse you!
I see you have been practicing my landing technique a little more practice and you will be able to remove the ailerons and the prang the prop just like me
Doing a bit of pogo on the nose gear, but whenever I do a sim with the P-38, I'm always doing a tail strike...aarrgghh! Btw, reduce landing speed a bit more.
Kangaroo airways. Great graphics
It wasn't shown in the video but what airfield did you fly out of?
LOL LANDING
Are you supposed to raise the landing flaps when your right over the runway, so you lose the lift and gently drop down, or am I misremembering?
Keep your nose up till the aircraft slows it will stop the bounce.
Was that one landing or three touch and go and one landing? Just asking! 😀
She was supposed to be very difficult to fly at first ..but the men who could get too grips with the lightening say she was a beast of an aircraft.....seems to have loads of power both in her engines and with the armament....can you feather one of the engines....
I think it was the compressibility in a dive, I think a part of the tail section would get near or maybe break the sound barrier and make it impossible to pull out of the dive. They mitigated it a bit when they added a dive break on the J or L, but still not great: but also a problem that literally no aircraft had ever encountered.
Were those Lancaster bombers?
на fw 190 D - боти з мінімальним рівнем складності?
Which Great Battles module is this?
Do you get credit for 4 landings?
Lightnings in action never gets old. Best twin-prop heavy fighter of WW II, bar none.
Nah, the DH98 Mosquito was better. No Luftwaffe fighter could catch them until the Me-262 came along.
@@colindouglas7769 In your dreams only pal. In this reality, the historical record speaks for itself (between the combat records and performance envelopes of the Lightning and Mosquito)
Lightning or D9 campaign, pls
You have made a mistake, according to the manual on spitfire I have read, also according to memoirs of actual pilots and reports from sorties, I have read. All of those sources state, that while escorting bombers pilot must chase away immediate danger and come back to bombers. Pilot must never get involved in the chase of an enemy and leave bombers unprotected. Which you have done, I think.
Love the Videos..... Hate the "TH-cam" intro music
Come on now Taff a P38 would be no match for real pilots in the 190 especially my beloved D9 would it ? Alan C. (Winco)
11:42 - If the 190 can out turn the 38, that is a SERIOUS flaw in the game mechanics. In RL, the 38 could EASILY turn inside the 109 and the 190.
And, you can't land a 38 with the throttle open. JUST as you are about to touch down, you have to put both throttles at idle. Raise the flaps immediately as you hit the runway to reduce lift. The combination of less speed and reduced lift keeps it from bouncing back into the air.
Do you think it is selfish of me to wish that the Germans and Japanese had lasted a year or two longer so that us gamers in the 2020s would have more war to play in?;-)
Man I wanted to like this sim so much since it had my second fav warbird in there, but.....meh. New series makes even CLoD seem good. I mean, right off the bat, does the P-38 taking off in the game sound anything like real life?

Honestly, I can't bring myself to open up my copy of Great Battles or in any other way support a Russian company.
P 38 highly overrated fighter .
America's top WW2 ace Richard Bong with 40 kills in the P38 would disagree.
@@zzodr the main reason why the P 38 had these numbers of kills against Japanese aircraft is because they had no armour protection nor self sealing gas tanks , which made them very vulnerable .
Eric Wincle Brown .said as much .
