I don't roll left often in a 109 just because I'm thinking about the upcoming shot. I roll over to the right to keep it slower and I can fucod better on where the enemy plane will be coming up. Plus it sets up use of my torque in the shot my right wing will be low do I can roll left into the shot.

The 109K4 can do some rather crazy things in stalls if you play around with one for a bit.

you can do the same torque rolls on any 109 from what I can see, although the verticle stuff is harder and you need to be slower to execute it.  the G14 though can petty much do everything the k4 can, but its a bit slower, but has the 20mm. . .

that 30mm is real pita.  I can see how people spend months if not years perfecting it. . .

So....

 :joystick:

Zoom Climb

Near the top, apply slight right rudder, zero throttle.

As plane slows to 65ish, apply left rudder, forward left stick.

As left wing points to ground, slowly apply throttle.

you can do it in a G2 and G6 & G14. I used to fly the G14 almost exclusively (with the 30mm) and I did it all the time with it.


The G14 has a slightly better climb-rate than the k4 at low alts.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

Woah, that is a really sick move to catch on film. I'd say it was a perfect one, yep.

Can I beat it with this? :D
