Well due to the thrustmaster breaking bug I use my guns to stop on the runway in CTA. I found that when at a halt if you keep firing you start reversing. This makes for a slightly harder target on the deck for strafers. On one occasion some guy was coming at a low 12 o clock strafe. I was firing my guns for a reverse move and he flew right into the gunfire. So my first kill from the ground....in reverse

hey, does that stop the plane from pitching forward too?

I was trying out the Po in training and, while landing, bit a bump at the last minute that flipped the plane up onto its front, prop facing the ground. It stopped dead and stayed like that. No amount of spinning the prop or firing off the rear gun would budge it. In the end I had to bail out, about ten feet from the ground. I was treated to the sounds of my pilot screaming and a huge explosion!
