Lockheed P-38J-25. Lightning over Europe.

Taking a touch to the Lockheed P-38J-25 in a IL-2: Great Battles Series. Just enjoying in-game graphics, sound, and physics, teaching nothing.

This is... unbelievable! My son found this and when we started watching it I absolutely thought it was real for the first couple of minutes. I was actually thinking to myself "damn, this is some really spectacular footage! How have I never seen this before?!" LOOOOOL I still can't get over that this is IL-2! What have I been doing with my life?!!

[@KyleCowden]

Man I need me some IL2. You told a great story without narration or excessive titling. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Lightning was one of the sexiest planes ever built.

[@jerrycolburn3665]

Great stuff; my father flew '38s in the South Pacific; I asked if he was ever afraid; he answered, "Son, you'll never feel so safe as when you're sitting behind a cannon and four 50's."

[@warrensmith2902]

Really loved the video, my mother help build the P-38's. One small problem. The rain or moisture on the canopy's and dripping down on the screen. Runway is dry, your various camera angle indicate CAVU, and it looks looks its about 10:am for takeoff. so no heavy fog or dew from the night before. Moisture on the outside of the windsheild comes and goes after you get threw the first layer of clouds that weren't there at takeoff. And that moisture sure looks like its in still air. I would say its inside moisture, but now and then we see streamers going back that appear to be on the outside. Also for that time in the war, and mission type, they would have gone out with drop tanks/Napalm/200lb booms, & rockets for strafing runs. At this point the 9th Air Force, under Jimmy Doolittle, was in an all out effort to destroy the German Air force any place they could find them.

[@easttexan2933]

Really awesome engine sounds. Power and prop rpm would have been reduced shortly after TO for climb power settings. Those engines would not last at 55" of MP to designated altitudes of around 25000'. Probably around 40" of MP and 2500rpm. Cruise would be 30" MP and 2250-2300rpm. Great video.

[@dukecraig2402]

Not even close to being true, the numbers you're giving are for the early P38 with the original innercoolers and the early war lower octane fuels. These are the later J models with the improved innercoolers on later war higher octane fuel, they were running 60 to 70" of MP at take off and lower altitudes and 55" at altitude while cruising.

[@easttexan2933]

@@dukecraig2402 Engines were life. Mistreated engines don't last long. Providing cover for B29s or escort of the same would not require those extreme power settings. Fuel consumption management was everything. P38s don't circle formations at 55" of MP.. I stand by my original comment regardless of what engines are in the plane.
