Yeah that is true Soviet Ace, great climb rate though and in the right hands (not necessarily my hands) it has some potential.

I really love it for the lines and being a rather unique plane compared to most other fighters in the war more than anything else.

Two engines can also provide a little insurance if you sustain some damage he he.

Fork tailed devil is grace personified with the twin Allison super charged 12's screaming she is nasty.

Not to nit-pick, but the standard armament was actually better than posted above.
4x.50 cal and a 20mm cannon in most models. The added .50 cals and higher rate of fire and better trajectory of the 20mm over the 37mm would be significant.
The P-39 had the gun arrangement you mentioned, and the convergence and trajectory mismatches, and low ROF of the 37 mm really proved to be a design fault in action, at least in the air to air role. The 37mm could be a terror against light armored vehicles however. The Russians made great use!

Tor sir you are correct, the XP-38 model or the first model in the early 40's was 2x.50 and 2x.30 + cannon but from 42-43 I think most were armed with 4x.50's + the cannon.

I'm not quite up to speed on all the specs but just get it in the game so I can enjoy it's beauty like I did on IL-2 for the PC

[Draakje]

Well mosquito ofcourse and lancaster.
Maybe some of the german nightfighters:
Heinkel He 219 "Uhu" (love the looks on this one)
Junkers Ju-88G
