If you stall - you become a slow sitting duck target. Any a/c that fires at you gets +3 or +2 die roll modifier. That is usually enough to push the damage roll up into a bunch of red chits. Especially at short range - which has a base of 7.
Take a look at the combat value table.
It is _really_ bad against late war a/c like the Snipe, which has stability A.
I think the "worst" shot I've ever received is
range 1 (base 7) being tailed (+2) fired at previous turn (+1) stability A (+2)
for a total of 12 - I think that's a red chit without even rolling the die!!!
If I had stalled, that would have been 15!!! I don't think I've ever seen that, but I'm sure the explosion would be quite spectacular
