The "Typhie Tail-Wag" Shot

[Warspawn]

Just wondering about this maneuver...

Lately I find myself moving defensively against higher and faster Typhoons.  I try to force an overshoot, and look behind.  As I watch live and on film, I see the Typhoon pilot moving his elevators back and forth rapidly and spraying 20mm.  As often as not, one or more will hit me, then he'll extend and repeat.

Wouldn't such rapid movement while firing hurt the plane and/or result in massive inaccuracy?

Thanks!

Thats what most people do, spray and prey.

I dont know about the Typhoon, but that would prolly rip wings off.

Typhie? The RAF always referred to the beast as the Tiffie.

It does result in an inaccurate firing solution and the Tiffie pilot is hoping to score a lucky Golden BB with its 20mm by spraying and praying like that.  When I see Tiffie drivers trying to do that, I have a very tough time trying to stifle a laugh when I ultimately end up shooting them down.  Chalk it up to the unskilled nature of the Tiffie pilot, that's all it basically comes down to.

       Never seen the elevator waggle, but the Tiff does have excellent short term rudder response.
Very useful when the bad guy goes into the 12G avoidance breaks    Which probably works alot
better in AH then IRL, as your flesh and blood pilot isn't modeled to handle that

You know they're probably blacked out while doing this as well. 

It's a Yank/Yank.   

Yank teh stick and Yank the trigger.
