I'd ask the opinions of these guys first:




First, note slow snap roll and split-S by the flight at 0:33. Next, note the slow barrel rolls at 0:45. Next highlight is the 4-plane slow roll at 1:29. Then the snap roll at 1:39. Lots of very pretty, well-done snap rolls and slow barrel rolls starting at about 2:48 on the film, followed by an amazing two-plane end-over-end stall and recovery at 3:04. They have virtual flying skills which make me weep with envy.

Now, if the fighting Woodpeckers, or some of the other really dedicated IL2 virtual acrobatics squadrons, say you can't do some aerobatic maneuver in the game, I'll believe them. Otherwise, not so much . . .
