-300 :D

[@patrickmiddleton2743]

Wikipedia: "Unusual for a fighter of this time, the exhaust was muffled by the turbo-superchargers, making the P-38's operation relatively quiet"

[@christopherfischer6998]

Yeah you can hear them too. The whine sounds awesome. Have it exceptional performance at high altitude

[@corvus9490]

I got my beer Fishyyy delivered P-38 mission Couldn't wish for better friday afternoon

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍 IRL, I'd get totally skeeved flying over the open ocean, couldn't do it. 😵😅

[@jfreid3174]

dude, funny you say this... I've always thought how petrifying this is... especially in WW2 no gps, everything old school made the world much larger, likely to never be found, drown or die at sea... SO scary

[@lewissimon1873]

Loved shivering thru marcom's landing🤭👍!

[@alexanderdaszewski1426]

Please more P-38 missions! Great video, lots of kills.... Good luck figuring out your lag problem Fishyyy! Don't give up 🙏

[@jonnybeck6723]

@33:00-ish that gymnastic stall/flip/somersault was er-uh... ...highly unusual/unorthodox (?) Great vid kids, y'all had me on the edge of me seat more than once Cheers

[@Fishyyy]

That's just a P-38 thing. When you stall it may flip. Was down to the pilot's inexperience with the Lightning.

[@timonsolus]

Lol! The hilarity at the end! Marcom forgot he wasn't flying for his own country, lol (or maybe he just doesn't like the British) ;)

[@Pandacat80]

love p38 missions. need more of it. Another quick question. Is your map large enough for you all to hang external tanks? IL2 world is small enough for you to go anywhere with internal fuel only.

[@Derpy-qg9hn]

It might not be big enough to necessitate bags for civilian flying, but it seems prudent to have extra fuel for when a bullet inevitably pierces a fuel tank. The self-sealing takes a few minutes to act, after all.

[@PalavecinoAndate2024]

Good video 👍

[@earlpainter2143]

LMAO: "He can count to four, just not in the right order."

[@densyyy2909]

Fishyyy, I couldn't understand why you were being so crabby with Boris, until the 🍻 comment. Anyway I was under the impression that P-38 squadron flew in a echelon formations? It's amazing that the 38 was the only Frontline American fighter,(unless the AirCobra counts) that had a cannon? Does that strick anyone else odd?

[@Barabas6991]

Very COOL!!!

[@weaverflytyer]

marcom is such a fucking legend

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

I love the shark mouths on those P-38s

[@alessiorapallino1291]

Great Battle of Bismark Sea reproduction! You're definitely Zero killers! Please make another P-38 video. It's a wonderful plane

[@redssracer4153]

54:40 Classic comms..lol..

[@generalc9439]

Hey Fishyyy next time can you put in the nose art shots (if you get any) i like seeing them:D

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

35:02 nice!

[@GFerrell]

I've been playing IL2 1946 a long time and I cant figure out the multiplayer points system? Do any of you know how the poi ts are allocated........5 points for a hit.....? 20 points for a kill? I'm trying to figure it out?🤔

[@imreno6552]

Ya ever been to Rachel?

why marcom -300?

[@Fishyyy]

Did you watch the video? :/

[@Indy_660]

@@Fishyyy yep. But i dont see what happend. Timecode is 30:30?

[@Fishyyy]

Marcom shot a friendly Beaufighter and got the kill, apparently.

[@yojlik]

only 16 minutes in, and I think to myself 'good Lord Boris needs formation practice!'

[@rebeldave1954]

In 1946 the war was over

[@Fishyyy]

It's the name of the game this was made in. I will always state it, even if people like you aren't smart enough to understand it.

[@rebeldave1954]

@@Fishyyy Well I didn’t see the statement so how about you kiss my A- -

[@Fishyyy]

It's in the video title, the video description, the game's cover is displayed under the video (with release date and game title) and the game's logo is in the thumbnail. It's there four times, what more am I supposed to do?

[@rebeldave1954]

You insulted my intelligence. I responded in a crude and uncouth way.I apologize so let us part ways
