Bottom line, get the enemy in posistion to defend himself against your tactics....So all in all, if I was flying the P-38 I'd rely on B&Z tactics, while if I'm flying the 109 G-10 or K-4 I'd try to dogfight the P-38.

In all these hypotheticals, the discussion always gets mired into the same swamp; pilot proficiency... No matter how good u are, someone out there is better...

Twitch said:2 point to ponder- besides the P-38 pilot being cold the defroster system was so poor it made visibility or lack of a dangerous gambit. Ever drive a car with a crummy heat/defrost system? Yeah it's miserable except no one is sneaking up shooting at you.
The P-38 had no "central armament advantage." The K-4 had a pair of excellent, high velocity 15mms in the upper cowl and either a Mk 103 or 108 30 mm in the prop hub.
I agree with you Erich- these banal fantasy blind dates for aircraft are simply a bunch of spec thrown around. Good pilots make kills not performance specs! Let's sit back and watch, man!
Twitch said:Whatever fantasy guns you desire to put on the 109K please note that they are fuselage mounted so there is NO advantage to the P-38's armament.
