Dunno where all this talk of a Split Esse is coming from, low plane did a flat turn.
When looking at a screenshot of a film or viewing a film with "trails enabled", one looks for the trails to cross, this shows that a plane has rolled its lift vector, if you look at the screen shot you see that he rolled his lift vector to break, then the bottom is cutoff, then he is coming back up and into an immelman ( notice the "trails" cross again.......LYNX confirmed it to be a flat turn, I assumed it was a split-ess although the bottom of the manuever is missing from the screenshot.....

not true, some might pull a P I T C Hback ( or a diagonal type immelman not true vertical immelman), allowing him to cause his opponent who is doing a true immelman to loose sight of him, also allowing him to retain more E for the 2nd reversal and possibly gain angles quicker......
Sometimes one might fake a Immel at the onset but instead do a high angled zoomclimb or unloaded G climb, perhaps going into a spiralclimb to see what his opponent does or to possibly size up his opponent.......I know some on here have experienced this in a 1 vs 1 match-up........
