This is what I use immediately after a head-on attack where I KNOW that I have more energy than my opponent or have greater zoom-climb (like in an FW190 or P47). Usually after the head-on pass, if I'm sure I have more E, I go vertical and let the enemy try to follow (after he bleeds E from the usual tight turn) upwards. I'll usually be .7km higher by the time he stalls and noses down to regain some speed, and if I time it right, I'll zoom down on his 6 before he can muster enough E to maneuver away.

The secret to pulling off the hammerhead stall turn is good throttle and rudder management. It works great in the P47, Ki84b, Spit (all) but I have trouble in the LA7 and I185 probably due to mismanaging the rudder/throttle balance.
