Stall limiter

you might want to stall on purpose!  

Yup.  If you're caught cold, unexpected from behind, one option is to throw the plane in a spin.  This often throws off the shooters first pass and gives you time to recover in order to put up a fight. It's a move that many attackers don't expect.

Good BnZ'ers,  those that rope effectively,  absolutely must have the stall limiter off in order to hang long enough in those close ropes.  Your statement is inaccurate as it only applies to BnZ'ers who shoot and scoot, not to those who bait and rope.

nope, you turned inside them because they were a noob or were very low on E.

sorry, mixed up ON and OFF anyways

for some part you are sure right, but it has impact on the turn radius - and not just a minor impact...

What's the stall limiter? New feature?

I don't mean to sound confusing tequila, but what I was getting at i guess, is when i climb and do a loop over in a 38 i kick the auto trim off and turn the elevators all the way up. If the controls are limited by the stall limiter will it affect how far I can turn said controls, hence making the loop wider instead of tighter

OFF

 Correct.  

And a good BnZer most certainly can tell if limiter is engaged or not.

I fly with the stall limiter on.  I know alot of the really good players swear by playing with it off, and I'll probably only get so far by leaving it on...but thats how I do it.

The way I see it when flying a cartoon airplane, you really don't experience the actual sensations a real world pilot would have.  You would 'feel' the deceleration, know you had to kick rudder to flip over and you would be flying one type of airlpane that you would get to know much better.

In this game flying all sorts of planes, and not wanting to keep a close eye on instrument flying, I just leave it on.  I find when I don't I just end up in a vertical stall and can't recover.

Plus in vertical stalls, I find applying opposite rudder and putting the nose down (the real world way of coming out of a spin) doesn't seem to work for me with stall limiter off.  dunno.

Why learn how to fly when you could be capturing TT!:aok

I fly all P38s in the game and I suggest OFF. The ability to stall in a 38 is a necessity to be a good pilot.

I fly with it on well did till 2 weeks ago personally i don't see that big of difference

Come to the TA some evening and I will show you the difference by simply flying a left-handed lufbery circle. You can start on my 6. In about 6 turns, I'll be on your 6.

In a knife fight between equal pilots flying the same aircraft, the one with stall limiter off will win.

My regards,

That sums it up.
