When you can fly half a sector missing half a wing, your rudder authority is a bit excessive.

This is why we seen these types of maneuvers.

Of course, I used to land zeros missing a wing in warbirds so aces high is a bit more realistic as far as rudder authority but aces high does not penalize you when you pull back on the stick with way too much rudder fed in by snapping you into an immediate spin.


Er....yes it does, unless you fly with the stall limiter on

Krupnski is really the one who trademarked the tailslide in the 109s.

Everyone gives it far more credit than it's worth, the tail slide is nothing but a cheap reversal that's usually a last ditch maneuver when you're out of options. (Well I do it when I'm bored too :D)

But seriously people give it far too much credit.
Try to do it into the cv hanger :rofl

I think that if you have separation and E there us plenty of other things to try other than forcing a HO

It's not a tail-slide. It's an over the top stall. Every beginner of aviation is taught to avoid this by not cross-controlling at slow speed.

Sorry. It's not macho either.  :devil

Like running a full sector from a single con to avoid an even fight only to turn and come back to pick when said con is now engaged with multiple friendlies is "macho."

 :rofl

Why don't you take your RunStang and fight Latrobe's 47 co alt and e, with rule that no one can go further than 1.5K separation, and anyone who "extends" for more than 5 seconds is the automatic loser.......

You should know better than anyone what that's all about, huh?  :aok

I'm rally surprised this topic showed up in F&S 10 days ago and in all this time no one pointed out what was really going on. Nice 'experts' we have around here (includes you weaper).

I lose plenty of fights, no doubt there, but unlike you I'll fight, not run like a scared girl.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't a tail slide the same as a tail skid? And that is what you give opposite rudder while banking. In other words right rudder when banking left and left rudder while banking right.
