Phoenix D.I's short dive card: how does it works? Is it just like a normal dive (looses one altitude level and all altitude markers) but just shorter?

That is how I would play it
And this is how it was meant.
Thanks for your answers.
What particular flying characteristic of the Phoenix does this maneuver aim to represent?
A very steep dive

I used it for the first time at Doncaster this past weekend; my second overdive ever! Short dive, then straight (as overdive) - fired and BOOM! Target destroyed.
The non-steep stall was also VERY useful - the Phoenix has a most interesting deck!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Agreed. Quite useful when intercepting bombers. You can use it to get in a close tailing position and let them have close burst after close burst. Your not going to chase down many planes but if you get behind them look out.
