Description
Always been a fan of the Starfox games, ever since the one for the SNES.. One thing that always annoyed me was when doing the "barrel roll", as they called it. A real barrel roll has more of a corkscrew motion to the flight path, instead of still flying straight, and only the ship spinning on its axis.The proper term for the one used in Starfox is an "aileron roll". You'd think a seasoned veteran like Peppy would have known the difference...

In Star Wars the old republic, the barrel roll is a 360 corkscrew maneuver, like you said above. Very useful to dodge lock on missiles.

Yeah, I'd known about the barrel roll bit for a while, because I grew up on playing flight and combat simulators on the PC (F-15 Strike Eagle, baby!!), and I likened myself as a pretty damn good PC pilot..

Actually, it was more or less a mistake from the translator for Star Fox 64. In the original Japanese version, Peppy simply refers to the technique as "rolling".

Still contributes to a pet peeve of mine.

What's sad is that people have corrected me, saying that it is a true barrel roll. >.<
I've had a real-life pilot back me up on it, and I myself have had a long upbringing playing flight simulators on the PC back in the day..

no, thats a corkscrew what ur talking about, not a barrel roll, barrel rolls are spinning in straight line, but so are aileron rolls...

No, a barrel roll is essentially a path of a corkscrew, due to being performed by bringing the stick to the left or right, and also bringing the stick back a bit. But you see, it has a technical term: a barrel roll.
Now, move along.
