Some military fighters use rudder at high AOA manuevering for roll. I'm not sure about the new 'computer' generation but it was the way to get roll at slow speed/high AOA.
Obviously with a HUGE degree of heightened awareness and feel!
Figher pilots talk about 'stalls' and 'departures'. They ain't the same....
