0:49 I somehow thought this was gonna happen the moment I saw that Ta-154 shoot at you...

Wow that collision at the start is impressive even by war thunder standards, they were going different ways and decided to go cross eyed for the same target

This is easily my favorite P-38 just because it can mount the A-36 gunpods, so I can mess around and turn my brain off for a bit if I get stressed out.

When you are engaging AAA units in convoys it is a lot easier to attack them coming down the road they're traveling on, hope this helps.

My Grandmother built 38's in Burbank, CA... she knew everything about that plane

Defyn: muppets Gaijin: NOPE Defyn: oh, right, ABSOLUTE muppets thanks I forgot Gaijin: :D

"But I never die, so I'm gonna show you me running away" Hahaha

Probably my overall favourite US plane pre-jets, pretty much grinded the whole winter event using only it

i love dropping my flapps in that thing and stalling out Bf 109s and C.202s with how much lift it gets

Defyn out here using every drop of his youtuber buff at 0:48

"But I never die, so I'm going to show you me running away" Legend.

everytime i see someone thats good at the game i get a sudden motivation to play then die horribly

I enjoyed the chat upgrade from "muppet" to "Absolute muppet" when the first one got blocked for spamming :)

Personally I thought this P-38L was very good, good climb rate, a LOT of ammo, turns okay, very goof flap performance at low speeds, and an airbrake to top it off, was the perfect beginner plane to learn maneuvers. This is the plane I started enjoying RB in, but I see quite a bit of hate for it on the comments lol I do agree fighting turn fighters with it is a nightmare

Another great video, as usual. Absolutely impressed by your skills. Thanks for this content. It gets reality addictive with all those wonderful kills.

Holy Shit Def, those flaps against that Ki-84 was the sickest P-38 drift ive ever seen, at one point you where basically standing still while the plane just rotated in space.

I wish there was a version of the P-38 with this airframe and the engines from the K version lol

Was getting sort of sick of the endless uptiers in the P38K so I gave this thing a go and its an absolute joy to fly. Performance difference didn't feel that big and scaled down extremely well into the lower brackets. Fondest memory in it was winning a frantic and desperate 1v2 against 109s on the deck while crit, which by all means I probably should have lost.

In the perfect time i was waiting for your new video 😀

lol bruh, defyn is in my head. i just unlocked this plane and was looking for p-38L-5L0 game play and whoopty doo defyn uploads exactly that LOL!

Yes! A prop video from Defyn!

You make it seem so easy, you're very skilled

Your commentary is as good as your gameplay, that's quite a compliment

I love your decal. Imma slap that on everything now

I gotta say Defyn, ever since I’ve been watching your videos, I feel much more confident in Air RB. I’ve got my first 6 kill game yesterday with the American FW-190 A-8. I’m much more vigilant with my energy and my nose Authority not to mention how to aim/lead more efficiently. Keep up with the great content!

lmaoo the manuever kill in the beginning was amazing

Yay, new Defyn video

i love collisions with friendlies, just yesterday i had this one crazy collision where we both were going perpendicular to eachother at mach

I like how one of the colliding enemies got enough hits on his teammate to secure the kill.

You've always been pretty funny bro but these days you got me laughing out loud a lot

good to see DEFYN back from building WALLS :)

This is the exact issues I have with the P-38s I’ve flown, they’re excellent planes to fly once you get it right, but at high speeds keeping the nose on someone’s six is extremely difficult.

4:00 world of tanks sent a kiss

yoooo, i had a collision like that before, i was in a 2v1 and i dodged them both from head on, they took opposing turn circles around me and collided like a shot out of some kind of action movie, made my night, i quit immediately and played something else.

love u defyn

Again, it shows that if you know your aircrafts capabilities, your opponents strengths and weaknesses, and make good decisions, any plane can be made to work. Now me, well I get bored too easily, and do stupid stuff just to get to the next match. I also, at my age, have a difficult time keeping track of all the enemies. If I get in a one on one dogfight, and get left alone, I do pretty well. But add that second guy to keep track of and I doomed.

Lmao you know its gonna be a banger with a collision like that at the start

My favorite prop, easily. F4U-5, a close second

I will take this as a p38k video

"butIneverdiesoI'mgonnashowyoumerunningaway" 😂 I love the P-38's, dunno why but they're fun to fly, do have to use manual control a lot though or they saw about.

0:49 smartest teammate i've ever seen

Would love to see a i185(m71) video the last video you have on ut was when it was 5.0

last P-38L video I remember was 2 years ago

Whenever I see a Lightning footage I already hear the country Ride the Lightning song

either you're good with the P-38, or they changed the flight model, but last time I checked, it was a mistake to dogfight in a Lightning. Possibly both. Yeah, not quite your average shooting score. Phlydaily phlew one with blue metallic skin that made it one of the most gorgeous plane ever to me. I just love the way it looks. Very enjoyable thank you!

Twin Boomber, I see what you did there ;)

this planes odd handling is a good thing for console gremlins like me because it lets you line up shots and manouvers slighlty easier than with normal twin engines

P-38 is one of, if not my favorite WW2 fighter and I like playing it, but playing this thing against turn fighters is just hell on earth

I remember having a lot of good times with the Chinese P-38L, but I haven't played the American one. Don't think there's a big difference though. Using it as an interceptor is always fun, if enemy bombers exist. I don't enjoy dogfighting in planes like this though, nose authority is too important.

another defyn video mein gott

A6m5 are such a pain to deal with because they are so difficult to hit and they can just pull some absolutely ridiculous aerobatics and get guns on you.

Mustang driver. On road and in the air

And welcome back … 25 seconds

OK twin boomer.

You could maybe revisit the EJ KAI since it has AIM 9Ls now

prop vid, mission success.

Yeah, this plane is very frustrating to play because it has all the flight performance you want but the guns are so sluggish to aim you always seem to miss your shots

I basically use it as a bomber hunter or a attacker

Are you able to revisit the Mirage-2000C5 and make a vid on if possible?

this thing is amazing but my aim is horrible overall now imagine with P38 on boosters

Defyn says "Absolute muppets" Germains gotta luv it can't get any better enemy then ones that do the work for you 🤣

Could you make a video on the f7f-1

prop content is back on the menu bois!

DEFYN sounds like GRU from despicable me.

Please could you do a video on the Meteor Mk4 f(the 7.7 one)

i tried palying the FW190 A8 recently and it refused to make a smooth turn. Instead of just turning with mouse aim, it kept wobbling the wings. Just awful

Hate playing a japanese plane and against it, 1 side it took forever to chase target, the other side it took so long kill.

Neat

So the plane is great and your issue with it comes down to your ability. Nice.

Do the P400 and P40, you are too good at the rest! Show us master!

Hey defyn I have recently gotten the F100D and have been struggling with the su25 spam of r-60’s and I think it would be cool to get a video on it again since the last one was years ago

the L stands for winner

Ah yes the pyörremörski

Ki-83 pls Overheating Monster

boom

0:49 paid actors

What gun convergence do you use?

Can you make a a7m1 video?

Any chance of a video on the Finnish B-239? Been seeing those a lot at low tier and I think there’s a reason.

Defyn it is time to revisit F104A/C, with 9.3 BR basically no one is catching you. Watching 3 mig15 on your 6 and can do nothing against you it a out of the world feeling.

any recommendations for someone who plays with controller?? i’m essentially stuck playing with “mouse aim”

Only go thing is the Cannon but I play on xbox

2:00 /speechbubble

Never been a fan of any of the P-38's for many reasons shown here, good video, only way it could have been better would be if it was actually a video on the Yak-9P instead of the P-38L-5-LO.

Can you please make a seafury video?

Please don't die mate hahahaha

READ THIS COMMENT IT HAS A GOOD TIP!!!! If you are in a plane that does not have a very powerful gun, going into the merge head on with another plane (like the p38 for example) with better guns than you is not a good idea to stay head on in the merge to hopefully shoot the other plane out before you even start the merge. instead, use maneuvers to make sure that the other plane does not hit you in the merge. Most of the time, when doing maneuvers, the plane will not hit you and you will be able to get in the merge. Usually, the way war thunder works is that planes either trade gun power for turn time or turn time for gun power. This means that when entering the merge, your turn time will be greater than the opponents plane and you can get the kill. If you are going into a merge with a plane that has the same gun power as you, the choice is yours to either maneuver or go head on. If you are in a plane that trades turn time for gun power, (like the p38) it is best to stay directly head on with other planes as the P 38 Canon can destroy planes quickly. Although, like I said earlier, this means your turn time is not as good as the opponents, this means that you have to make sure you destroy the opponents plane before having the merge. This is usually pretty easy to do unless the player knows how to maneuver, but not many people know how to so yeah. considering the immense fire power of the P 38, it's pretty likely you will get the kill before the merge begins. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and I can gladly answer for you.

0:50 How much do you pay your actors? They must be making bank, that has to cost extra.

Давай обзор на YP-38

I beg, could you fly some spitfires, if you want to (:

5:49 WHAT damaged you?

Use gunpods= x2 fire power

day 13 of asking for a P-51D-30 video. I love you DEFYN!!!!!!!!

The 38's are great in SIM.. not RB

I never learned how to fly P-38s, i simply don't like them in any aspect

F-104A/C video soon? It's a bit disgusting at 9.3. AIM-9Bs never felt so good. Vulcan kept netting me hits and crits though--maybe that's just me.

Does Gaijin have changed something in the chat? I haven't seen any enemy's message since a while.

how do you pronounce it? Pyoremerski?

Pure Murrskay that's how you pronounce it i believe

I will agree, angling and aiming the guns at high speeds with turn fighters is a bit frustrating but whenever it connects, it's rewarding. Btw video idea: fw190 F8
