Seriously speaking, I remember fondly when I frequented Ubisoft's IL-2 forums as a lurker and there were many discussions concerning the plane and how it compared to its counterparts. The best comment I remember from those discussions was someone saying along the lines: "Of course, no matter from whom you ask, you will hear that their plane was the best and could do anything. Those who might disagree aren't here anymore."
B-29 won the war if any plane.

And, yeah, it did make it look like it could out turn a biplane.

"Inverted rolling reversal" comes to mind when I think of something like that.

If you jerked the controls back quick enough, your tail would slide very well. The issue with that and the movie is that it'd also bring your airspeed to 0 and you'd drop like a rock.

IL-2 FTW!
