P-38G Tier 2 American Heavy Fighter

The P-38G is the first and only P-38 in War Thunder as of right now Its an all-metal and really sturdy aircraft. The only issue you will encounter with this aircraft is the tail. Its tail is a big, fat weak spot on the plane and easy for a enemy on your six o'clock to shoot. With a climb rate of 21.4 m/s, this plane could skyrocket. This is truly an American plane that can boom and zoom in War Thunder. With a turn time of 21.5 seconds, you can turn fight but only if you really know what your doing.  In arcade, you can turn fight with bombers. If you are just an arcade pilot then you can feel free to turn whenever.  Seeing that it is a tier 2 with a battle rating of 3.3, you can still use the P-38G in tier 3 battles and wreck! That all depends on your piloting skills though! When your talking about the P-38G you are talking about an amazing 20 mm Hispano AN/M2 cannon. This thing only have 150 rounds, but it can really wreck anything in its way. Along with the cannon, this plane has 4 x 12.7 mm Browning machine guns. These machine guns each have 500 rounds. One major downfall on this plane is the fact that it doesn't carry rockets. Usually in WWII they modified this plane to carry unguided rockets or bombs. Rockets would make this plane overpowered, but nevertheless Gaijin should be more historically accurate on their planes. One other thing that I believe War Thunder should add the installation of bombs. Historically, the P-38 did carry bombs and rockets but they choose not to add them in War Thunder because this would unbalance tier two fighters. From my experience with the P-38, I can say that it is a really fun and isn't to overpowered. Even though the flight model isn't historically correct, this plane is a interesting and cool plane in War Thunder!
