That's the first time I've heard about shutting off an engine by flipping the mags. Usually it leaves a bunch of unburned fuel in the cylinders. Did your plane have a fuel cut-off seeing as it had no mixture control?
I agree about roll inertia. One of the saddest sights to see is a de-winged bomber fluttering about like a leaf. One looses the impression of scale, and mass and gets the idea that they're watching a toy plane fall.
However, considering its age, Il-2 has pretty decent stall modeling (even stock FSX planes fall short). You can't rely on the "Stall!" HUD message though. I've performed stalls without the message coming on, and for a sim it felt pretty good. The "Stall" message seems to only indicate spins which may be why every "stall" looks like a canned "slip on a banana peel" spin (as one member puts it).
