Hey everyone, over the years i've had many requests to open up my Squadron's Discord for subscribers, and lately as well, so i've decided to do this. You can now join my discord and participate in the =NmY= shenanigans. Join up here: discord.gg/X4XSaSrXqm. Today we're looking at the P-38L-5-LO Lightning a fastastic plane that you shouldn't miss out on! Also make sure to Like, Comment, SHARE and Subscribe to the Channel if you enjoyed the video. Hope you all have a great day! o7
iirc, historically the compression was due to the way the air passes over the front of the plane was what caused the elevator to become unresponsive. the air brakes that were added were not for actual breaking, but to help get better airflow over the tail.
I had and still have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the lightnings. I never quite knew how to play them right, but on the occasions where I made them work they were tremendously fun.

i finished soviets up to rank V for the rank reviews, so flying yak's wont happen anytime soon. Just watch the existing stuff that i have up. my Yak playlist is richly filled with content ;)
Fantastic plane, I think it's the only US plane that will be at 109Gs alt when you merge. The L feels better at it's BR than the J at it's...the compression on the J is easy to bite you in the ass so you lawn dart from compression, the airbrakes always save from that happening.
They'd probably be my favorite planes if they weren't so awkward to aim, something about the instructor or camera position just makes it hard to get rounds on target.
But is it worth the 4.7 BR compared to the 3.3 that that P 38 G is at? It doesnt really climb THAT much faster and the roll rate and airbrakes dont seem worth being put up against late War 109s that will match you in a climb.
I really like the Looks of the p38 lightning, but i'm not very good at playing with them in the game. Also they remind me of the 1942 game for the Famicom in which you play with a p38 haha.
Is there an actual ammo guide somewhere or have you ever thought of putting out a video about it? With the amount of different calibres, nations, areas of application, it is relatively unclear for me as a newcomer.
@@jengar6258 Hey Jengar, that's completely understandable! As someone who is just starting out or hasn't been in the game for a while, it's not easy to find information on the current state of ammo selection. There are good videos explaining how ammo works in general and an ammo chart, but it hasn't been updated for a while. I am more than grateful that you are already going into more detail about the types of ammunition for each aircraft in your videos. Thanks for that!
Finally another prop🖤🖤🖤btw i wanna ask u which is the best plane like if equal pilots meet each other at 4km altitude alone around who would win? P51-D or bf109-F4?
If they start dogfighting immediately after the merge the F-4 will beat any P-51D. The P-51D needs to extend and build a big energy advantage and then maintain it to fight the F-4.
Depends on the speed, at 600-700 the p-51 has a few turns on the 109, which compresses more then the p-51. but after those first few turns, and the mustang looses speed to below 450 its the 109 all the way. As the mustang you should never allow that speedloss to happen
@@DanteSonOfDeath no because a good p-51 pilot who goes into the fight with an altitude advantage will be able to keep his advantage as he BnZs the 109 until they are at sea level and the 109 has no energy left to evade
I love the P-38L, easily the best one, to bad American teams are dog shit and its almost 10k fucking lions to repair. 10/10 recommend though, not beginner friendly though.
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.
because its an excellent energyfighter with the option to b&Z because of an airbreak, great power from the two engines, nice firepower, great looks, what more do you want?
Well I do love to stall people out WT back in the days and GS ww2. But I only played 47 matches in my Cousin account. Do you love stalling people out like Defyn in his k4? Hit and run or turn fighting?
There is a mobile version out now but it has no Air RB and Gunship 4 is releasing soon which is a mobile version of top tier jets of WT. By the way I love your tutorial, it helped me a lot when I played WT and right now in GS ww2.

fair enough, nice bit of info, ty! o7
Such a nice aircraft. You are inspiring me to get flying it again.
good good, enjoy! o7
I had and still have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the lightnings. I never quite knew how to play them right, but on the occasions where I made them work they were tremendously fun.
Yes for me it really comes down to whether you finish the enemy on the first run or not

Hi Jengar, just want to help with the algorithm and comment to wish you and your community a beautiful day!
Nah the upload speed is crazy! Are you going to do a video on the F8Fs?
Yeah, i will :)
@@jengar6258 yessir!!
Can't lie the p-38s the best at energy trapping
Definitely up there ;)

Could you make a tutorial on flaps usage?
will consider, can not give an eta.
p38 love
same here!
I'll watch any Lightning video you do (K & L are my favs)! Would like to see you do the Yak-9P or Yak-3P again sometime.
i finished soviets up to rank V for the rank reviews, so flying yak's wont happen anytime soon. Just watch the existing stuff that i have up. my Yak playlist is richly filled with content ;)
would love some higher res than 1080p Jengar, nice videos!
Love the love lightnings wish it had a better turn time but overall good plane!

yeah true, still i do much better in k/d ratio in the J for some reason ;)
They'd probably be my favorite planes if they weren't so awkward to aim, something about the instructor or camera position just makes it hard to get rounds on target.
turn off the instructor as much as you can, camera position is adjustable by the pilot, i find it tricky to aim due to the tight fireing beam.
I have all the Lightnings unlocked and I never touched them for whatever reason. Maybe I should try them after all.
you definitely should!
But is it worth the 4.7 BR compared to the 3.3 that that P 38 G is at? It doesnt really climb THAT much faster and the roll rate and airbrakes dont seem worth being put up against late War 109s that will match you in a climb.
Another one!!
yes sir! o7
should i get this 1 or research and save up for the f-82 twin mustang
Greased lightning.
But i got the general idea :)
hehe, oops.
I really like the Looks of the p38 lightning, but i'm not very good at playing with them in the game. Also they remind me of the 1942 game for the Famicom in which you play with a p38 haha.
hehe, their great looking and also great to fly :)

If You would have to choose, what is yor fav plane (prop) ?
that is an impossible quastion mate, i can barely choose a favorite in any particular rank and nation. Let alone a favorite in the whole game.
@@jengar6258 fair enough ;)
Hoping for new vids

@@WarRaven38 working on it! o7

considering the new damage model broke the HE rounds except for the 151 cannons, belts with AP and API ncendiary is always good for the moment.
@@alexhurlbut Also for other nations, like Brits or Germans?
for the 50 cals its tracers or stealth. its a lot of work writing a ammo tutorial, i'll consider it.
@@jengar6258 that does depend on whenever the planes get late war belts or not.

Why is it very fun? Because it has a high air spawn with good climb rate. But need to be careful in a dive.
because its an excellent energyfighter with the option to b&Z because of an airbreak, great power from the two engines, nice firepower, great looks, what more do you want?
