I surely have more than an idea on whether this could happen or not, while you, being aeronautically ignorant, don't.

Oh and don't drag me into this

On topic, either way if it were a stall or whatever it's too hollywood. That means it happens too fast, at too short distance. It's like a car would do a U-turn with the handbrake... Plane looses speed too fast, turns too fast, and fires without airspeed even. He would not be able to keep his nose up with that low airspeed so IRL it would have to be done in a vertical manner... Only did this once in IL-2, in a P-38 Got a zero after doing a stall-turn coming straight at him again. I totally won that day
I tried to PM David, but his attitude is the same than on the forum, he just loves doing it. I don't even know why I bother, all I can hope for is that he manages to get himself banned soon.

As for the topic, yes well, a P-38, having two engines with propellers rotating in opposite directions, is more likely to contrast torque in such a situation and tumble backwards. Still, it would be a hair raising, edge of the envelope, "how the hell did I get myself into this?!" situation.

Wake me when you find an expert who can give you a definitive "no". Right now your expert appears to think it's possible.

even if it did, it's probably cos the pilot screwed up big time
If your boy doesn't think it's possible, why even mention how it could have happened?

It's my fault, he crawled up my leg, then into my rectum, and I excreted him back out, and now he is right back here posting his "contributions".

I should have flushed faster.

David Hayward likes to get into arguments with everybody in this forum. I still remember glancing through the threads we had about the landscape color, and he was defending his position single-handedly against everybody else by scrutinizing every single post and look for every possible minute detail he could attack on. hahahah a true forum "hero'. You have my admiration, good sir.

My favorite part of that argument was when someone posted a modded CoD image with the trees just slightly darker. People were falling over themselves to post how great it looked. The trees were slightly darker and suddenly the landscape went from "cartoon" to "great". It was funny as hell.

BTW, I wasn't alone, and I didn't scrutinize every post. It wasn't necessary. All you need to do is post a WoPuke screenshot and you win a color argument every time.

I often wonder the same thing about the people who relentlessly whine about this game.
