To clarify the topic further Airbus ask you to

- input half forward stick for normal take offs which results in full elevator down at roll start and progressive decrease of this deflection until the sitck is gradually released to reach neutral by 100 kt
- input full forward stick for all tailwind take offs and also if x-wind is above 20 kt. This results in full down elevator all the way until the stick is gradually released to reach neutral by 100 kt

The reasoning behind I was told is to increase load on NLG for better control.
