Doesnt have to be Maverick, thers alot of people that can do that, its just not efficient in a battle...

That's simply showing off and not thinking about the team. No place for that in combat.

it is efficient in some heavy battles....like do some flips to avoid RPGs and stuff

I'm simply not impressed. I'm sorry. Now if he were to land successfully like that.. I would definitely have to give him props lol..

Not hard very hard to do, also has no use on a server where you are playing to win. On empty servers or ones where a total of 10ish people are stuffing about I will fly around like that.

Also its a very easy trick to do but it isnt useful in any way.

I recently shot down an Apache pilot with a tank on Quinling who for some reason flew upside down... Whats the point..?

Screw you OP. Screw you.

We never could find where that marksman was :\...

That pilot did a pass over us at West, and we were still too dumbstruck to shoot until finally I think my L-AT guy nailed him and he landed the hard way...

How do you do it? I had a go on the training map on a local server. (fly kb/m)

Went up to about 300m and flipped it. Full +ve throttle gave me control but dropped me like a stone. Full -ve throttle kept me in the air but it slowly did the twisty spinny thing it does when you hold -ve throttle for extended periods of time.

Whats the secret?

No, its a "bug", it isnt intended.

Im supprised that this isnt more common, When I started doing this for fun on training servers and at the end of the rounds infront of the "end camera", almost 6 months ago, I thought it would spread like wildfire, but clearly it hasent.
It isnt even hard to do, esp with the cobra and the littlebird

I remember when you tried to show me how to do it on the kashan night map.

I failed... :(

Then afterwards somehow it just worked. :)
