Mid map AAA is another weird change like those "bugs" with the forced J-out when damaged(they "fixed" it after we complained) and the force J-out when you plane is critical damaged, you land it on the airfield and the game considers you dead(force J-out) while you pilot is just fine.

This is a decision made purely for monetisation reasons rather than gameplay realism. For gaijin, this hyper-effective hitscan bullshit insta-crit-all-your-fluids mid-field AAA exists solely to slow down people's grind. It ensures people who 'just want to play the damn game' are not able to play the damn game, and are instead required to take 5-10 minutes off each of their games, slowing down their progress. Only way to speed progress up then is to pay for premium time, or buy a premium plane.

Honestly one of my favourite planes in the game even over the fighters I love going back to this plane

Didnt watch it yet but i know its gon be a great video as always! Keep up the work man

I missed the time when the XP-38G was on the store, wonder when gaijin will sell it again, its a good grinder

I'm a new player. I've been struggling with american props and their bad climbrates, but I've tried this plane out and now have a 2.0 KD with it. The airspawn, fast speed, and good vertical maneuverability seems like it makes it relatively easier to fly than other similar tier US props. I find american planes to be really, really hard to play consistently. They're "unintuitive", so to speak, since you can't just drag mouse at enemy and click. I've watched sooo many videos, including your guides but I still can't apply energy fighting concepts well. And coupled with my terrible aim, it makes it very rough.

This timing at 2:55 was impeccable, I love it

Dunno if anyone's run this idea by you, but I think that when they buffed EC AA in It's Fixed 63, they actually just buffed all AA across the game. It's stupid easy to notice in heli PvE, but is still a big problem in air rb, as you know.

This is one of my goto cope feel good planes. MEC is very powerful in this plane. Most maps 5.5 to 6k you run 90 pitch 0 rads. I don’t know why such small cooler flaps would be so draggy but they are. If your willing I usually run around on 90 prop and 30 rads but I will close them any time I’m gonna zoom out. Very easy to exploit against most of what you face. Doing it in the J reaches Jug levels.

also got a one shot fire by the field AA, was in the middle of finishing a crippled zero too, didn't even have time to turn back in to the zero for the last shot before my wing came off. Super annoying and completely unnecessary

Even with its issues I absolutely love this plane. It's one of my favorite planes in the game alongside the P-80 and P-40.

i feel like the aaa was buffed, but either way it now makes attackers nearly impossible to use in ground rb, i also got killed by midmap aaa recently when i was 2 kilometers above it 😠

always enjoy seeing Rasor in Defyn vids

You have been dying to AA so damn much because after recent update Gaijin gave them pristine milk crack and now not they only can shoot up to 4km in the air, but to hit you perfectly at all times, no matter the speed or distance. Oh and also god forbid you fly near ground targets convoy

Exactly my sentiments on the p38 G1, the nose is difficult to get on target, speed is nice, flaps are nice, keep your altitude and kill from high alt downward in priority and you'll be fine.

You don't always use the keyboard, basically you just hold the pitch key down when in an engagement that requires hard turning and it's more convenient to maintain tally(keep your camera on) the enemy with your mouse aim circle rather than holding the C(free look) key. If you want to turn gently to maintain speed then it's normal to rely on the mouse. Another scenario is when a plane's mouse aim AI doesn't pull as hard as it can compared to holding pitch like what DEFYN says and that's when you'd also need to try and full-send with keyboard, but it won't be frequent that you'd have to worry about it. You can still do respectably without keyboard controls if you are skilled in other aspects.

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.
