I wouldn't believe ANYTHING I'd see on History Channel. They are renowned for consistently fabricating bullcrap.

You could make that using the lag in multiplayer game :lol:

IMO this is an Horrible film!

Totally agree :evil:

I remember a match from that channel, Tiger vs Sherman. History channel is propaganda from USA and England... total bullshit :evil:

Using that big gyroscope (and torque) at the front of the plane effectively, is an art well worth the learning.

I personally dont believe its posible. Perhaps he made a similar thing like a hammerhead or so. But hitting the enemy plane by this unstable situation its like a wonder when he passes so fast. Maneuvres like a cobra or so are yust possible with thrust vector or disable safety locks in the computer system.

I saw it. i thought i was having a "Iron Eagle" flashback.I gotta lay off those green colored m&m's :)

it is possible on ATAG when the lag is just right, it's a manoeuvre best known as the time warp attack; Mr Sulu would be proud

seriously, it's impossible to do such a tight 360º spin in 3sec, i don't think an x-wing would pull it off

I remember watching dogfight series and one us veteran ace was talking about his snap turn something like that and he said pull the stick to yur gut hard and left or right rudder (I don't remember maybe right have to watch again) and push the stick forward and loosen it. he said then the plane snap rolled and just he did that the 109 passed and he push the trigger just feeling where 109 would end up and he got 109.

I think in Red tail they try to show that maneuver. So somehow it might be possible. I don't think that veteran would lie :):)

but in the scene of the movie the roll takes 3sec and the 109 doesn't stall!!
