8/10 times its got me a kill or serious damage without getting a scratch.

Actually, I think they used it quite a lot in RL. You need to use it to fly a 'coordinated turn'. This is the most efficient way of turning, thus losing the least amount of energy. It's just impossible to use it in a sim as well, because of the lack of feel, and turn coordinator.
