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.
