You can create angles in any plane...some better then others....and that better then others portion is where the performance of the aircraft comes into play...the plane is physically easier to position for an angle with better performance.
And, as i said before, when you get guns on, even for a second, the other guy blows up. There is something to be said for killing quickly. I always assume that the enemies buddy or buddies are inbound asap to save him. Get in, get the kill, get ready for the next one.
Not that I am an expert, but this is not a plane for beginners, she is unforgiving. I think it's the easiest plane to put in a flat spin. If you want to fly it well, you must stick with it. The problem is once you get used to her, them guns spoil ya.
