I agree, LH! I had some of my best careers in the P-38. Though I do like the old version better than the P-38J. The J is a little TOO manueverable, more than the older model. Like the Corsair...now there's a challenge! My best career was in the USN with the Hellcat, I got transferred to some dive-bomber wings through the course of the career, and managed to stay alive. I scratched something like 805 enemy planes, and about 200 ships.

S'truth about Nishizawa, Mr. No-American-Can-Shoot-Me-Down! I took him out so many times it was pathetic. I took out 3 aces in one mission once. BTW Sugita is a pushover, and he always manages to live!

Here's a hint for taking out bombers FAST. Use rockets! I load up on rockets before the mission..you can bring down Mavises & Betty's like steam! You can also take out a zero in just one salvo!

I'd have to say my favorite Japanese plane is the George. 20mm x 2 cannons, YES! Even those bucket-of-lead Airacobras can't take that! Scratch one!
