That was really awesome. Reminds me of that one scene in stealth that the UCAV hits the flanker with guns.

I would say that the F4U and the F6F have the greatest rudder authority.

P47 has a pretty crazy rudder. I'm positive you can get that plane to perform and backflip with enough skill.

I disagree.  When nose high, slow, and flaps out, the p47's rudder doesn't swing the nose around like the f6f, f4u, pony, 109s, and other planes I'm probably forgetting to mention.  Because performance is relative, and because so many other planes have more effective rudder, I would not put the p47 in the "rudder monster" category.

Exception:  The N jug.  It's rudder can actually swing the nose down in a stall/rope.

Started taking out the F4U1.  Man what a rudder.
