I have flown a couple models in X-Plane and would relate a similar experience. For a single person fying it, it's a big work load.
Handling was just terrible lol. It "wallowed" around whenever you turned unlike just about any other aircraft I tried.
I think the old joke about the Catlinas was that they cruised at 100mph, climbed at 100mph, and dove at 100 mph
. That was my sim experience too.
It's one of those planes that is probably much more suited to a true flight sim as opposed to a combat sim. The work load is just too high for one person in a combat situation.
