I do some damage to other teams on all game modes by stalling and on the way to a recovery fire the HC from below. Other planes don't chase all the way down because they can't touch the walls and I can just bounce off and fly away after a quick burst of the secondary gun.

I am actually one of the biggest proponents of the rubber hull perk. I used it in ladder (on my bombers) for quite a long time. However, I think smaller planes just don't receive any great benefit from it.

Plus, biplanes D gun acts as a sot of reverse thrust anyways, so the ground can be avoided in most instanced through a combination of maneuvering and shooting.

The whale damage bonus on rubber hurts it too much to be useful imo. I'd rather just have HA.
