Being in a stalled aircraft in turbulence is no fun ,Being in a stalled iced laden aircraft in turbulence in IMC is time to get the QRH prayer mats out.
If you are brave/dumb enough to go into a 50,000 foot CB you will probably be iced up as well and the aircraft deep stall recovery techniques practiced in the sim may not work .
It may need a combination of tail plane ice stall recovery techniques combined with gentle yaw and roll induced by gentle application of rudder to get the gravity working in the right direction to give you relative airflow without overloading the wing or control surfaces.
Keep in mind that any aircraft when it is iced up can be a wobbly thing to control ,and you may encounter some un-commanded pitch ,roll and yaw changes to the attitude that can be confusing .
