Lightning - P-38J - IL-2: Great Battles

- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- Flying the P-38J first on Kota and then on Combat Box. I am surprised how much I like the Lightning in the current planeset. I kinda expected that the aircraft will have a hard time competing against the K-4 and D-9. And while beeing slower, the boosted ailerons, high altitude performance, decent climbrate, armament package making it a viable choice in a team. Alone it will be difficult since the aircraft has quite large blind spots below, making the aircraft vulnerable from below.

My grandfather serviced reconnaissance P-38s (Lockheed F5s) at Oxford Mount Farm Station for the 7th Photo Group/13th Squadron "The Black Cats."
I love your flying and shooting, so inspiring, but I adore your wingman! He is constantly reporting contacts for you, is checking your six and let you have the first shot.
Im glad to see im not the only one who enjoys twin engine birds! Thanks for the video its great, as usual! O7
The more I look at the P-38, the more it looks like some crazy alt-reality design out of Crimson Skies, or some science fiction comic.
When Sheriff let's loose those curses and rounds it's like he's really a fighter pilot fighting for control 😍👌
haha
I was excited to get this plane but I like shooting it more than flying it. Hitting it with some 30mm and watching the two booms come apart and flutter to the ground is very satisfying.
I like both :)
I haven’t flown IL2 in 10 years but I logged many hours in the J and the L. The J suffered from the compression problems as the real version. When flying the L with its airbrake I could hold my own against all comers. Out climb any axis plane, yes the K4 too. Strategic use of the air brake you could df a Zero.
P 38 is one of my favorite planes ever built! I fkng love twin engined planes
I was the mustang pulled off to the right when you were landing. After a year of flying FW 190s it's fun to want to get better with a different plane
And the 51 is a fantastic aircraft to do that.
Oh my Goddddd! I quite literally shat myself when that third 109 stopped flying!!! lol
That's interesting with the mirror during taxi, but I guess it makes sense. On the ground the 38 is nose high but if iirc its slightly nose down in level flight.
Such a hot-rod of a plane.
The P-38 really does look good!
Hi there, why are you so zoomed out? It looks like you’re sitting behind the pilot.
Do the fuel games work in the 38? It gives the same reading constantly, even when I take a lower fuel load out or the tanks are full of holes.
They work
Had an WW2 pilot tell me they use to call P-38 Pilots Popeyes, because the yoke was extremely hard to use, their forearms would get big lol.
Good job you shoot very well !!!!
my fav allied plane
So, diving is a pain in it. What else did you notice about the plane, good/bad?

I was always reading stories about the legendary p38. When I tried it on Sims, the slow roll rate, and control lockup in a dive really dissapointed me. I switched to P47, or F4U, they fit my play style much better.
the roll rate of the J is really good since the aircraft comes with boosted ailerons, but despite some dive brakes its still not a good diving aircraft. Lots of shaking and elevator lock up.
With dual throttles you can greatly increase the roll rate by aggressively pulling the power back on the engine you want to roll towards and then putting it back in.
@@sonicapollo This is terrible advice. Cutting the throttle on one engine just creates a ton of drag and instability, and it's not even going to accomplish much in the way of boosting your roll rate in something like a P-38 with counter-rotating propellers. This is an absolute last resort move, because all you're really doing is dumping a ton of energy for very little gain.
@@zOMGREI Look at the direction the props spin. (excluding the prototype) It is opposite to most aircraft. Ergo, each engine acts like a "critical engine". A quick pull on the power and back takes very little time. It's basically like an aileron assisted Vmc demo. This increases roll rate. Go try it for yourself.
@@sonicapollo I never said it wouldn't increase your roll rate, it will, just not by a particularly useful amount. Even on a standard twin you get more yaw than roll out of cutting the throttle on one side. The core issue isn't even the minor increase in roll rate---it's the fact that you're trading a massive amount of energy for a small, very temporary boost to your roll rate. Yes, on it's face this may not seem like a bad idea, but unless this is a 1v1 against an absolute moron, you're just going to get yourself killed. New F-14 pilots in DCS fall into this same kind of trap with a similar kind of poor energy trade: they go full Top Gun, throw the air brake out, and go vertical to force an overshoot. They either end up crashing, or they miss their teeny tiny window to exploit the overshoot and promptly get killed by another enemy, or even by the one that they tried this reversal on while they struggle to gain enough energy to maneuver again.
It's just not good advice to tell people to attempt things like this without making the low odds of success and the heavy consequences for failure clear. Plus, the roll rate isn't even that bad on the 38. You're better off continuing to maneuver with both engines rather than taking a huge gamble on a small boost in roll against a plane that's likely able to either outroll you anyway (or just outrun you afterwards).
Edit: Alternatively, just use rudder inputs to boost your roll. Same result with a lot less risk.
I see you figured out some stable graphics settings! Care to share?
Well I identified that the graphic cards get spikes of demand very suddenly, while the card is running at full power to get the max amount of frames. So I capped my FPS to 60, disabled some graphic options (Shadows to high, SSAO off) so my GPU has some breath left to meet those sudden demands. Now its mostly smooth.
i wanna buy this expansion so bad
Is the p38 a good heavy fighter? And if so how should you use it
I wouldn't even say its a heavy fighter, it is basically a normal fighter which happens to have 2 engines. So considering the visibility downwards, I would recommend to use it as a attacker with bombs or has a high altitude interceptor with a wingman. The Turbocharged engines work very well against the germans very high.
Buttered the bread.
Used to say that there are three ways to put the ship down - to butter, to butcher or to batter. The main difference being in the number and size of pieces :-) This landing was a pleasure to watch, as was the whole flight.
thanks to both to you. But the 38 makes it easy :)
Moin sheriff, kannst du mal ein video machen wie du 6DOF trackIR in IL2 benutzen kannst? Ich will endlich weg von WT aber war sehr verärgert fest zu stellen das IL2 kein 6DOF unterstützt
Ich hatte meinen zoom eh auf einer taste in War thunder. Den rest nutze ich genauso wie in War Thunder
@@SheriffsSimShack das funktioniert bei mir leider nicht. Zoom ist überhaupt nicht das problem, ich kann mich weder nach links oder rechts noch in andere richtungen lehnen. Es gehen nur die pitch und yaw bewegungen über den tracker :(
@@pascalgermanfpv238 das sollte aber kein problem sein. BoS unterstützt 6DoF. Nur hat nicht zum Zoom, aber schon für vor/zurück.
Links/rechts ist auch kein problem.
Ich vermute da ist bei dir ein problem im setup oder da ist ein haken im Profil nicht gesetzt.
@@SheriffsSimShack wie gesagt wäre toll wenn du da mal ein video drüber machst, das hilft vielen. Dein WT setup video hat mir z.b. sehr geholfen nicht ständig in nen flatspin zu komm :) welchen haken muss man denn wo setzen?
What are those tsf tsf tsf sounds when maneuvering hard?
AGSM Anti G straining maneuver.
@@SheriffsSimShack So it's the sound of the pilot grunting while doing said straining?
@@momotheelder7124 correct.
@@SheriffsSimShack sounds a bit mechanical for a supposedly human sound I have to say.
@@momotheelder7124 it is indeed a very systematical procedure which is done in very strict intervals. You can see real centrifuge footage and real combat and you can hear that.

the P38 can hold it's own against most D-9s with practice, K-4s are as you would expect
Great flying but your trigger finger is way too itchy
You don't get bonuses when you bring back ammo
Perhaps, but it's an American tradition to get those rounds out! If you have about 2000 rounds of 50 cal, better get it used!
Agreed but it just kinda makes you look like a way shittier pilot when you miss 75 percent of ur ammo even in a p51
A hitrate of 25% would be really good. Very good pilots have 20% in il2
There were a lot of shots that had pretty much no chance of ever hitting you took. Thats just my opinion of course. I think your hit rate would be a lot higher if you didnt take meme shots as much.
