In bf2 the coppers are special so all of them can take loops.

Lynx is able to FLY inverted, not to do a loop like all choppers can do...

So this would fill its role, and is very useful, as for example, on Qwai river, if you had blackhawks, it would suck, and be impossible to go anywhere, even for Sangin, which is coming up, get somewhere fast, and less noticably
There were blackhawks in 0.5 and maybe 0.6 if i remember correctly. ??:
And Brummy will crash a Lynx once in a few days of release and I will be there to fraps it and put it on youtube.

The navalised Apache can probably do the same -I beleive it has a reverse thrust system similar to the Lynx for landing on ship decks. Pushes the craft down rather than pulls it up -good if the ship is bouncing all over the place.

its quite realistic with chopprs like the lynx, loads of RC choppers can do it no probs.
All that happens is the rotor blades are rotated so the lift they give is very, very negative lift, then if you turn the chopper upside down (aswell as the rotor blades with it) that negative lift becomes positive lift and the chopper can fly upside down, even hover. Most normal choppers cant "fly" upside down since they dont have enough "negative lift" power to do so.
We may even put this in a feature in PR, should be possible

I can see rhino doing that now. Hovering, lagging, hitting a tree. Then asking it be removed from PR.
(jk )
Would be a great thing to have in PR, would help some times too.

Yes, CP is also known as the inverted pilot extraordinaire of NATO 1 and the Tourny.
