Flown a certain way the P-38 is fast enough to allow you to do this in most cases. Try not to put yourself in a position to get shot back at. If you're not above your opponent and are not unavoidably engaged in a fight, disengage and take the time to go wide and put yourself above everyone else. You shouldn't be dogfighting in the P-38 in the first place. Forget any nonsense about asymmetrical or combat/dive flaps maneuvering in the P-38 that you may hve read about in the forums. No sudden movements or sharp turns unless your survival immediately and absolutely depends on it. Then you'll need someone to come in and rescue you, and you don't want to depend on that. ![]() He may still have help himself, or might actually out-fly you, and you'll be too big and slow to do anything about it. Unless he's the only enemy left and you still have some help, don't slow down just to stay on someone backside. If you're about to overshoot your target, then overshoot it, but stay fast and climb out, come around, and if the situation allows it, try again. Never slow down for anything unless you're landing. ![]() Having said that, there are some basic tips that definitely help in the P-38: Combat - even simulated "make-believe" air combat in this game - is very fluid and dynamic, and you must continuously reassess the situation in real time, and adapt to it accordingly. There is no "fixed" way of doing well and staying out of trouble.
