Aug 26, 2011 #1 P pinsog Tech Sergeant 1,667 659 Jan 20, 2008 How would an F7F Tigercat stand up in a 1 on 1 dogfight against a late war P38 Lightning with equal pilots at the controls. Compare them in speed, manuverability, climb, I think we can go ahead and give firepower to the Tigercat. Last edited: Aug 26, 2011
