Default Factors that affect Torque Roll Rate?

Doesn't the plane rotate fastest when the tail and thrust line are in line vertically?

Isnt this why most ships need to be tipped back to the canopy?

Because my plane is completely symmetrical (ie everthing set at 0-0), and has no up or down thrust, leaning the plane back is theroetically the same as leaning it forward.

Therefor the best position for my plane to torque roll should be dead vertical?

Or am I completely off track with my thinking?
