Heres a hot tip for all you P-38 Jockey's
the P-38L(late) is equipped with maneuvering flaps which in your controls are triggered labelled and engaged as though they were air brakes which they are not. in high speed flight 400+km engage these flaps and you can turn with a BF109. it certainly is surprisingly agile for its size once you master this, try putting yourself into a straight over loop de loop and when your at about 70 degrees on the way up to the zenith hit the "airbrake" the amount of seconds and energy spent on the pullover are gone just like that its a whole new plane after you get this working for you.

I actually turned it up while reading up on my fav plane
they mentioned it. but the equipment list didnt mention it in game. however It occured to me then and again now that the proper term is speed brake its I think a small pop out flap on each wing and its just a straight metal non moving extension. and it basically creates a disruption of the slipstream (assumably by vortex effect) wich causes the slipstream to fall off the controls in compression. this was a simple highly effective solution to the lightnings tendencies in a high speed dive. speed brake manuevering flaps I dont know for sure but I tell you it totally works I have turned with some of the most agile aircraft in the game.

Thanks for the info, I always thought this were just brakes to avoid reaching the speed where your elevators won't react anymore. Will try this.
