PSM during high-G turn?
Multiplayer match, was pursuing an Su-33 after diving, speed is 1500+ m/s (or whatever the unit is) and climbing, and am slowing coming up on his tail. Dude straight up goes into a high-G turn (no air compression things visible until now), I see his plane do a complete 180, hit me with one (?) missile, stop midway through the flip, and BLAST into the complete opposite direction, at this point its a blur of blue. Could this be achieved if you spec completely into deceleration/ acceleration?

He post-stalled on you. It's an advanced maneuver that high performance planes can do. PSM is just an extension of a High G turn, as a matter of fact, High G turns are a good way to start them because they drop your speed so fast.

Post stall manueuvers are very hard to do with a mouse and keyboard.

That would seem to be it. It was just how fast he pulled it off, since you have to do slow down to around ~450 m/s to even attempt the move, considering i was matching his speed a few seconds prior. Gotta test some parts.

Experienced something very similar last week. Dude was on an SU35 and wasn't even climbing, just running away the entire time, then in a straight line at around 1000km/h he suddenly went 180º without doing a turn and fired at me. I seriously don't know how can someone do a PSM without being at 500km/h or less, I don't think he had the time to slow down and pull that off, it just looked really weird.

Perhaps latency messing with gamestate?

I don't know, I actually sent him a friend request to ask him about it, but it took him so long to accept that he can just say he doesn't remember anymore so I just didn't bother to ask. He was spamming laughs in the lobby afterwards so I don't know if that was mocking or not.
