would that not be:
Only if you have enough yaw coupled roll, given "
if you don't have to much yaw coupled roll" then you lack roll and have to much yaw
true its much easer the higher your wings are and the taller the rudder vs. the centreline/CoG.
don’t all flights intersecting the earth at some point?

regarding torque, the prop on in game spitfire & Hurricane turns clockwise (when viewed from the pilots orientation) therefore torque from the propellers resistance to the air its trying to pull the plane threw will try to make the plane role anticlockwise dropping the left wing (to every action there must be an opposite and equal reaction) after all torque must work both ways as it must push anticlockwise to push something else of an equal force clockwise.
