Lag is the only reason stick stirring works, the server can't keep up with the epileptic stick movements and it results in the plane going everywhere.  If anyone tried that in real life they woulda died real quick.  Code smoothing has made it better, but as long as there's lag it will be with us.

A snap-roll does not use ailerons.  It is all elevator and rudder.  Pull (or push) the stick to full elevator travel while simultaneously kicking full rudder in the direction you want to roll.  Reverse controls to stop the roll.  Snap rolls are best done at the medium to lower speed range, lest you break parts on your plane.  Some planes are really good at it, others not so good.  This will bleed a huge amount of speed quickly.

Torque rolls are a vertical maneuver that requires a power-to-weight ratio of greater than 1 to 1.  The plane is hovered vertically and the engine torque makes the plane start turning (rolling).

Aileron rolls, no explanation needed.

Barrel rolls use elevator and aileron (primarily).  You roll the plane but do so such that not only does the plane roll but it changes altitude up and down.  Entry into the barrel roll is the same as entering a yoyo.   The resulting movement looks as if your plane is inside a barrel (facing outward) and the barrel is rolling with the plane stuck to the outside edge.  Effective at forcing an enemy that is closing fast to overshoot while maintaining your E to get on his six.

The only thing this does is give you a dead shot on the most vulnerable areas on a fighter aircraft.

the nose of a f4u or p47, the radiator or oil pan.
heck the pilot.
give's you a awesome angle to pop the wingtips off the enemy.


it is harder to get a hit on someone dead six 800 yars out than a flopy fish from 300, lmao.
i look at it like gang languadge, "look guys he is saying..*i dont wanna die but im outa ideas*.." :p


The side to side one's i dont mind,the guys who yank back and forth..are just begging for death.
It's like every round hits them then,and they ither exsplode..or everything just rips off and down they go.

Groovy, keep it up fish.
