i noe what it does, it lets u slam the stick all the way when u got no air speed and turn, i have fought in rooms wit out it and nothin but flyin dweebs, then the fight is about control and acm not just raw turn rate of the plane. It helkps u adjust but turning it off i fly makes no difference, i have had guys use there stall to get away from me, doesnt work because now i am on top of u.

I understand people want realism, i do to but like cav58 said in a real sceniro spit and mustang wont be fightin, and i wont be shootin down lacs in a hellcat.

What Ghost is trying to say (I think you're missing it) is that if you have the stall limiter off, and the other guy has it on, you're going to be able to get much more performance out of your aircraft then he ever will.  Your "raw turn rate" will actually be better (assuming you are decent at riding the edge).

Go ahead and test it out.  Find a guy with comparative skills to you.  Fight a few duels with your stall limiters both off.  Then land, and turn yours on, while he keeps his off.  He *should* beat you every time.  After that, land again, and you try with it off, with him having it on.

Anyone who has any interest in improving at this game will turn their stall limiter off.  Not everyone's like that though.

Just do the smart thing and disable the stall limiter in your flight options and kick the little arses of those that are using the stall limiter.  Easy solution.  They'll never be able to out maneuver you with it on.

Speaking of stall limiter, what does it do? AS in, what happens if i yank the stick? Even when I was an uber noob, i never used it. And in the end, the guy who can trim still wins. Ive flown many times next to someone who doesnt know how to manual trim. Ive dove right next to them, and laughed when they thought I was cheating, just because I could pull up. Basically, if they rely on auto trim, it will eventually get them killed.

What it does is limits your elevator even thow you pulled the stick all the way. Also do not confuse H2H with the main arena, there is an arena setting that determans where the stall limit is. And it has nothing to do with speed, but wrather Degrees from max aoa.
