Default Torque Effect +

In the case of the 2300 HP P-47 Thunderbolt (Fighter) of WWII...If you added throttle Too Fast... OR Too soon, On takeoff..you could roll the plane off the runway onto it's back..... "Ding Bang Ow". NB

PS: A Cessna 172 @160HP will also veer off the runway if you don't add some right rudder at takeoff.
