Oh dear. Not this thread again.
I hope this doesn't go 7 pages like the last time!
Are you saying Tango can do this? If you can find that post I'd sure like to read it.
Uptown- scotch mentioned the thread above. Widewing posted a move. I posted what I call the "flat plate". I'm not sure either are "exactly" Candelaria's move depicted in Dogfights but I wouldn't take the CGI in the show too literally anyhow.
Here are couple of the animated gif's I posted in that thread:
For my maneuver, it came about from analyzing various aspects of aerodynamics modelled in AH and spending time thinking about various energy dumping maneuvers that I could perform in a Mustang in AH. The flat plate is not something I have used very often in the MA and when I do it's usually a last ditch maneuver or when I'm just messing around and don't care about the stakes
. You need both enough speed to do it as well as enough altitude to recover.
At any rate it leaves you with little energy at the end of the maneuver which means you've just severely limited your options. On top of that it's like waiting for paint to dry for the Mustang to regain kinetic energy compared to alot of other aircraft because of it's underpowered engine compared to others. It's a neat trick. It can be useful but those opportunities are rare in my book because of the disadvantages.
I haven't showed our squad how to do it because of it's limited usability but I'll post something in the 412th forum in the next week or so for ya if you're interested.
