Combat Trim - To Use or Not To Use, That is the Question

I meant no-one in particular actually- just a general trend of people to compare planes that are apples to oranges. IE Acro planes are a start to thinking how a WWII plane would fly- but then dump 6 tons of weight a completely inneficient (with few exceptions like 190 or P-47) ergonomic and low mechanical efficiency..  IE so on so forth.

The loops was maybe a poorer example but not totally- as the loops became succesive stress would become greater on the pilot and as he lost airspeed he would probably allow his loop to loosen on the fall to gain speed. The point is that the wheel would be used- and often especially as stick forces became high or the pilot's arms became sore or tired.
