that's how I lost two Jap planes by stalling at the top of a climb and then going horizontal, the Jap planes try to slow down but overshoot when you go horizontal.
That wouldn't work very well against a human pilot. It's a good trick against the AI and works with almost any aircraft against any other aircraft, but try it against a half-decent human pilot and all you get is your arse full of lead
Same with horizontal scissors or just plain turning tight. Works every time against the AI.
