Stall Turn


o Start with good energy 300mph+ pull up vertically (A1)
o Idle throttle to 50%, and depending on which way the aircraft falls to, left/right, hard rudder that direction (A2).
o When you are level with the horizon quickly hard rudder the opposite direction and apply full throttle, stop using rudder when you are straight and facing down (A3)

This manauver is also called a hammerhead right?

[Lt.Wolf]

yeah, i can remember why i didnt put that name in

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.

When i try to do it i always fail.I can preform all manuvers that i know of to perfection(almost),but hammerhead eludes me.I cant figure out what im doing wrong(probobly its a power menagament issue),who knows,i certanly dont

[stansdds]

I think part of the problem in executing a good hammerhead in a flight sim is the lack of situational awareness associated with sims. In a real aircraft you have a far wider field of view and you can feel what the aircraft is doing, desktop sims have no way of giving us this sort of experience.

Thanks for trying to cheer me up stansdds
P.S:Its either that or i suck :lol:

[Trooper117]

Well.. I'm sucking with you then!!.. :mrgreen:

[stansdds]

That makes three of us! Sure, one of us might possess poor piloting skills, but the odds of all three of us? Why, it's got to be astronomical... at least 2:1. :lol:

[salac_78]

We shuld meet on a server and suck together,better yet we culd form a squadron wich wuld be known as ground hugers or suck staffel

[Trooper117]

LOL!!..

'Sucker Wing'
'Adopt suck formation now'
'You've been suckered'
'Get your lips away from that canopy frame' :mrgreen:

[stansdds]

This thread is going down hill fast, in fact, you might say that it is being sucked into the ground.

[salac_78]
