Combats in WWII did not involve the use of Immelmans immediately after head-on attacks. Yet this is what tends to happen in
WGS.
There was a reason for that: in the time it took a plane to do a horizontal turn of 180 degrees, an aircraft could just about do a split-S or half loop upwards, but in a turning fight, shooting was possible, while in a split S or Immelman, it wasn't. Furthermore, an aircraft going vertically upwards and then rolling horizontal was an easy target.
Suggestion:
Firing is forbidden during both the straight before an Immelman, the Immelman itself, and the straight afterwards. In the Immelman any firing at the aircraft gets an additional A chit.
