If these stalls for these aircrafts are behaving normally, are older fighter planes then just really poor in handling? Or why in most flight sims that have WW2 planes, the aircraft get really quickly to stall/spin that can't be recovered with counter rudder/steering? Are most of the military sims just inaccurate?

[@FlyFromHome]

Nope, that’s absolutely accurate for those types of aircraft. WWII fighters are built for maximum performance and agility, not for stability at the stall, so their aerodynamics cause some quite violent effects once you depart normal flight.

@@FlyFromHome Thank you then it clearly is just about more training than blaming the sim :) Ofc the game sims may not be as accurate as the training sims, but they give a good clue of how flying is like.

Nice video! Why the carb heat tho?

What about a stall in a sharp turn?

[@FlyFromHome]

There are lots of areas of stalling in real training that were omitted to prevent this video being too long! Turns, accelerated stalls, full power stalls, intermediate flap (whilst turning) and full flap stalls are all in the training syllabus. That being said, steep turn stalling isn't generally taught as in some aircraft this can lead into a pretty serious spin! Jimbo
