Title: Weird snap roll in Spit V
Post by: ozrocker on June 12, 2012, 07:01:46 AM

Yesterday evening, I was in a fight with kappa and FBLazy.
I was in Spit v. One of them came in in close 6, I had a lot of E.
I did a snap rollto the left, hoping for overshoot (worked).
All of a sudden, the plane went nuts rolling uncontrollably then stalling (almost flat stall).
I throttled between power on, power off and finally got it back in control.
I've never had this happen in Spit v, anyone else?

BTW  :salute kappa & FBLazy, was fun fights between 39 & 44

I've never had this happen to me at high speeds, but I have seen it when doing an uncoordinated rolling scissor to the left.

 No worse than a fully bombed up Mossi that just took off from a field that had the E to clime up behind a P-51D that was doing 3oo mph and shoot it down. You see strange thing in this game sometimes I guess because it is a game lol.

Only plane I ever got into an uncontrollable stall was the Ta-152H and 262 at extremely low speeds (sub 100), both while trying to turn fight (was fighting another 262 with mine :)). Most people continue to push their planes even long after the stall buzzer is blaring. I ease pressure the moment I hear it.

The plane that is most prone to stalling IMO:

Spit14
Tempest
Ta152
190A8
P39s
Yaks

They all are either Underpowered/overweight or have extreme torque. 262 stalls like a leaf too but who turn fights with 262s under 100mph anyways? :p

Stalls here are a bit more gentle.

You can enter a spin when doing snap-rolls. When one wing is more deeply stalled than the other you will enter a spin.

That video is a lot similar to what happened to me.
It was spinning really fast. Had to power on/off,
throw nose down and it finally straightened out.

Then your virtual self has survived your first accelerated spin. WTG!  :)

I've had a few before, just not in a Spit V.
Never had the stall induced like that while spinning either.
