Rudder into the turn so if youve banked right rudder right, because it shifts the plane on the axis your get more turn. Its kind of like skidding in a way but you dont have to bank as far as normal and you also have to account for the extra spin the rudder will give you otherwise itll just pull you into a stall . It's a delicate balance but once you find it you can definetly get the edge on someone whos just banking even if it just gets your guns that little bit extra lead. The downside is you'll bleed off speed that much quicker so you need to keep the power up.
