In real life how do Apache pilots roll or Immelman the helicopter?

I am unable to do it in sim without catastrophic results. My helo is empty with 20% fuel.

I see Red Bull BO 105 do it. However it has special rigid rotor hub.

I see RAF Lynx do it.

You'd better wait until we have the final flight model (rotor model) before attempting such shenanigans.

We don’t.

The DCS Apache can do it if you control the rotor droop, but it's not exactly representative of real life.

Literally unplayable /s

How is this done again?

Ignoring the obvious "ok but y tho," you can do loops and rolls with the 64 in the game, you just need careful manipulation of the controls. It's also advisable to kill the SAS while doing it as well.

An immelmann turn is hard for me to pull off without dumping all my speed and it seems rather silly to do so when more than enough authority exists for a bog standard climbing turns with a bit of bank and yaw.

Practice.

You should have a lot of speed and altitude when working it, so even if you stall the generators, you can probably autorotate to restart them.
