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.

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.
