The Chippy is easily landed in a 15 knot cross wind will full rudder alone and tail down. The technique I was taught, used and then also taught others is to land on three points, using rudder as necessary.
For the experienced pilot perhaps - but not for the learner. The RAF insistence on the "kick off drift" method of Xwind landing nearly destroyed my incipient aviation career at the UAS stage. When I returned to the Chippy in Air Experience Flights with the benefit of DC3 "wheel it on/crossed controls technique" training I found that it worked just as well for DeHavilland on any other aeroplane from Tiger Moth to widebody.
One of the saddest sights I recall was watching the landings on the day the Shackleton was retired as three successive arrivals demonstrated that the RAF technique had fatally undermined pilots' confidence in Xwinds.
