Snap Roll

Demonstration of how to perform a snap roll to the left and right, inducing a spin using the snap roll, and examples of both uses in combat situations in Rise of Flight.
This maneuver is also known as a flick roll, and is performed using the Sopwith Camel, but it can be performed effectively in most aircraft with practice.

Neat video. Now I play IL2 Sturmovik so the flight modeling will be different. The way I do a snap roll is pull the stick back to the six o'clock and put on full left or right rudder. I correct with stick but I can see where using full opposite rudder would work a lot better. What benefit do you see to using the 4 and 8 o'clock positions as opposed to six o'clock?

Mind you I picked up this trick from a documentary and applied it through trial and error. Thanks for any advise.

@colddrake80 I use the 4 and 8 oclock stick positon so you get a bit of extra roll added to the maneuver.

That was amazing... But you reduce speed and give to foe the opportunity to go over the top and starting boom-zoom tactics, or not?

@mickellemastra Yeah it is a last ditch maneuver to make. I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you are in a lot of trouble. Sometimes though they completely lose sight of you which is a bonus, but you need to be able to imagine where the bad guy went so you can prepare to either attack him or defend yourself.

Good work! What simulator is this?

[Requiem10NS]

@ROBERTLUCIAn The simulator is called Rise of Flight. It is a flight simulator based in World War One and has one of the best, if not the best, flight models and damage models currently available in a flight sim.There is a demo available from their website, so if you're interested I would recommend you give it a try! It has a steep learning curve though, but there is plenty of information out there to help you get started from their website.

@Ponder1ng Oh okay, thank you for replying.

[Ponder1ng]

@ItsyBitsySpidey1 I highly doubt their flight model is anywhere near complex enough to handle stalls, spins correctly, so as to allow a snap spin. If it were that advanced, I don't think most of the people who play BF3 would be able to get off the ground.

[Ponder1ng]

@Requiem10NS the difference is in airframe design. WWI aircraft had an easier recovery due to the extreme forward center of gravity, and a corresponding greater resistance to spins, including snap rolls. in WWII, fighter aircraft could enter a spin much easier, the extra aileron doesn't actually aid in the roll due to the airflow separation that characterizes a spin, and so the instructed technique was to simply pull back and use rudder. Recovery was done through rudder control.

Would this work in Battlefield 3? I would like to try this out there.

You sir, are a master.
