Think it just puts the rudders to max port/starboard with both engines moving synchronized.
And that is something that wasn't done in real life either, as by the time an order could be transferred to the engine room and one engine clutched into reverse you would already be turning the other way. Reversing engines is only used in port, where extremely tight maneuvering can be planned in advance.
