True.
In real life, you can just apply a little constant force to the stick with a barely noticeable effort. In the sim, this requires such a subtle stick push that you end up by constantly over correct.
The end result is a continuous rolling motion: rolling right, correct, rolling left, correct, and so on. Surely, practicing can alleviate this problem, but CoD is so darn good that we are facing the real price of realism.
Modern and stable planes can be effectively flown “by the numbers”, while older types, must be flown by “the seat of the pants”, exactly the “instrument” you can’t have on your pc!
