Struggling with the Typhoon during manoeuvres.

[glacial]

I've been using the Typhoon recently for ground attack, but have been finding it very difficult to fly when getting bounced at low altitude. If I break horizontally the Typhoon rolls sharp in the direction of the break, leading to a forced a barrel roll, which once caused me to crash in the middle of a dogfight.

I haven't had this issue with any other aircraft so far, is there something I should be doing to avoid this? Or am I simply flying it to aggressive?

The Typhoon is ill suited, at best, for air to air engagements.  Not much you can do abut that, other than be aware and run away if German fighters show up.

Really got to know the Typhoon thanks to Wings over Caen campaign . 

Had to train a bit before,  since it is, indeed, a demanding plane. It's large, and heavy.  Would compare it a bit with the Jug (p-47) maybe.....

So, @glacial, you got it right : It's too aggressive flying that makes it loose control. It has inertia.

My issue was recover from high speed with turn component dives. I used that in my valiant attempts to hit something with rockets.

Regarding evading fighters when you're low, I would suggest using the supposedly high speed you have to brake hard up and only gently horizontal.

Enjoy flying it a bit! Gotta be smooth and somewhat gentle, has a naughty habit of snap roll/stall.  When bounced low u gotta roll first then pull. Pull 1st then roll --> hello trees --> hole in the ground.

Can turn quite well, touch of flaps, suprised few 109/190s...

How are you breaking horizontally leading to a forced roll? The Typhoon is slow to roll so rudder coordination is essential to get as much as you can out of it.

The Typhoon does best on offense rather than defense. Stay fast, engage targets of opportunity, and if things look bad... run away. The Typhoon is one of the fastest aircraft at low level overall and typically against contemporary opponents. That doesn't mean you can just firewall it and get away but it does mean that you can build separation and get out of a tight spot if you see it developing.

If they've already bounced you... its going to be a tough fight. Bring wingmates.

In addition to the great advice already mentioned, try tob stay coordinated when maneuvering.  The british instruments don't make that the easiest task 😅.  I haven't flown it much, but I didn't notice it was more snap happy than other planes.  Whether it is or not, it wasn't my impression. What I didn't expect tho was that it seemed to have very poor maneuvering energy retention.  Pulling AoA in that thing seems to have a very high cost!

You won't snap out of turns if you reduce throttle, which takes the massive torque loading off.

Sounds to me somewhat similar to the needed change in flying style when switching from a 109 to Fw190.

Ground attacks in a 190 are fun, however, if you are bounced low level, you are in problems - and all you learned in a 109 simply doesn't work well with a 190.

So, it's all about learning to fly smoothly, wide, fast, and - always be aware what's happening around you.

( Well, the 190 has a good roll rate, the Typhoon hasn't, so its a little bit apples to oranges )
