A question for A345 pilots/engineers

Hi guys!

Would like to ask any a345 pilots around here a particular question.

In the A/C manual for the a345 , it states that to increase the rotation rate, further rapid and large aft movement of the sidestick is made during the late stage of rotation, the possibility of tailstrike increases signicantly (due to rocking bogie design of the A340).

What do they mean by the rocking bogie design of the A340?How does this affect the a/c performance during rotation to such an extent that it increases the possibility of a tailstrike?

I hope someone could shed some light on the abovementioned question.

Yours Sincerely,
Vibes
