Game Analysis[]

- "A special version of the P-38 based on the one flown by an ace pilot during the last great war.
Boasting exceptional defensive capabilities, it can pressure the enemy without worrying about taking minor damage along the way.
So tough it could be considered the embodiment of the original pilot's uncompromising soul that will take on any battle head-on." - ― Hangar
