There is significant pitch-down when firing in some planes, but this doesn't seem to correlate to recoil much.
Also, me and a few squadies did a test that had some startling results...apparently recoil isn't the same on all computers.
I discoved the good ol' PT death blossom, where you can fire the Bofors off the side of the ship and get to spinning at an incredible rate, apparently because water is frictionless as the moment (or the PT hull is)
Where as my squadies (and Ding was one of them) could only get it to turn around a bit, albeit still shaking and bouncing from the recoil. After following my exact instructions several times to no sucess
I've never been able to get the planes to roll backwards by firing, regardless of wing, moving, stopping and then firing and any other prescribed technique.
Many other people don't seem to see the serious nose down pitch upon firing either, so wtfgas.
