yes because its unupgraded
in dive however, the p38 has elevator trouble so keep note of that
it climbs well and gains speed fast....dont turn with it though

Yeah, after a good dive, there aren't many aircraft that can catch up with it. Good for boom and zoom tactics.

p 38 is made for booming and zooming. I love it its an excellent plane when used correctly

yeah you really need all the upgrades for it.

The plane is awsome once you get good at it and the game, if you use stealth bullets, you can hit anybody in a BnZ possition.

Also, it's the best survival/getting away plane I've ever seen. So for example if you are one of the only people left on the team, you can climb faster than any prop i've seen in game. For example, in Biathon i was in my lightning and I was able to out climb all the fw190s and bf 109s and other planes of tier 4.

The fully upgraded P-38 is a dream to fly. It climbs faster than most planes Era III, and turns better than almost all German fighters. It is also super fast, and dives really well. I love flying my XP-38.

Best survival/coward plane is the Komet(obviously), but as for props, I don't think P-38 can outclimb Ta 152 and as far as my personal experiences tell; it can't.

I haven't engaged a ta 152 in the lightning yet, but when I did fight top of the line bf 109s and fw190s and I could out climb them very easially.

AFAIK Ta 152 was designed for high altitude interception, so I think it should be the one that outclimbs the lightning.
