no . The correct answer is YES. It flies better with a rudder which is used to corrdinate a banked turn. However most conventional planes can turn by banking the airplane. In WWII many bombers returned from missions with most or all of the rudder being shot off and till landed successfully.

The B-2 bomber has no rudder, and it flies fine.
