Yes don't forget this was a few years ago, AEP ?.
For take off and landings you should notice a difference (easier).
It just shows that stick settings can make an aircraft's performance a lot sharper, but whether this is realistic to the aircraft's actual performance or not to have the inputs cranked up high to give a unrealistic input sensitivity remains a matter of discussion for us, but as far as Eric brown was concerned the IL2 aircraft were way to sensitive for the amount of stick travel and input.
Perhaps SoW could lock the stick settings from the hosts mission when sessions are joined so everyone fly's the same stick inputs
BTW there are/were Olegs settings
