THIS DUDE KNOWS HOW TO AIM FOR SURE.

@KrautGoesWild Extremely sturdy and well-armored. One other advantage--favored esp. in the Pacific--was its two engines. Not only in case one went out or was shot out, but pilots could swing the boom to keep it between them and the other plane, as a last resort.
-
@12lacroixsouslange 200mm is one big gun.
-
@DaJester Later models of the P-38 had 2 20mm cannons in the nose. Plus it carried rockets,bombs and extra fule tanks and had a long range an did 400 MPH plus. It out climbed and dived any German plane.
-
The pilot of this plane seems very accurate and economical in the way he expends his ammo.
-
One advantage the P-38 had in the ground attack role was that its four 50's and 20mm cannon struck with inches of each other. Must have ruined a lot of sunny afternoons...
-
Everyone has their favorite WW2 fighters, and in my opinion they are all worthy, but you gotta admit the P38 is just a sexy freakn beast. Four 50s plus that 20mm cannon in the nose is going to ruin anyone's day.

This is epic.
Thanks!

yes, the typhoon and tempest were better at destroying ground targets like trains, with their 4x200mm cannon and 8xhe or ap rockets. but the raf didn't havemuch time for fancy films!

The "fancy films", as you called them, were helpful in confirming targets engaged & destroyed. Also it was a learning tool used to determine what works best against various targets.BTW, those "4x200mm" cannons must have packed one hell of a punch huh?!? ;-)

Ah yes, "Forked Tail Devil" / "Gabelschwanzteufel".
That´s how my German grandpa used to call the Lightning, too.
Was she really that sturdy?

Thank you for the German language version of the name, afterall Luftwaffe fighter pilots gave the aircraft that name. Not as sturdy as the P47 Thunderbolts since the engines were liquid cooled but she was a fast, heavily armed and agile airplane that offered good visibility to the pilot.
