Historical question - why was the P-38 so successful but the Me-110 such a flop?

Probably boils down to a simple matter of Horsepower, rate of climb, service ceiling and range (and maneuverability). Some pretty stark contrasts;

Nah, the punks on the Bikes shoulda all got what Jimmy got. A good ole ass whip'n, and be fucking thankful that's all he got.

dont know how it started, or who started what. i seen dude riding next to the truck and yelling at the driver, and right there i knew he wasnt all that smart. he’s damn lucky the driver didnt swerve over and kill him.
