...I have been asked, in game, to demonstrate this technique. Then asked "how".

Go to 3rd person view (outside).

Pull vertical, full power.
Watch altimeter and "feather" the throttle.
Soft easy touches.
Maintain vertical and altitude.
My best is just under a minute.

Type of plane and bomb/no bomb affect greatly.
Average throttle is just above 1/2.
While "they" are asking "how?" SHOOT THEM.

Good luck & have FUN!

I usually do it if I have somebody on my tail that I can't shake. People don't seem to "use" the throttle enough. Do you ever match the Zeppelins speed and "float" behind it so you can get every last bullet in its hull? Or try to fly as slow as a carrier moves?
