Most interesting part, as it relates to Il-2:
Arthur Fiedler: "[Hercy] pulled that stick back and kicked the rudder as hard as I could".
I also did this same thing with a 109G-6 shooting at me in the Checkertails P-40 campaign and it worked for me too! It blew my mind to hear this described by an actual P-40 pilot less than a month after I tried it in Il-2.
