You're confusing my request for realism with a request for my preference. My preferences are my own - I select whatever I like in the options menu, that's not relevant to this discussion. But since this is a sim, I relate my real world experience of standing next to 20mm cannon firing on a moving platform (and friends' experience of aircraft mounted cannon), as well my as real world experience of aircraft. Yes, the moving platform was a ship, and no I don't fly Spitfires. Nonetheless, the laws of physics do translate from platform to platform. WW2 cannon did not magically have more recoil somehow (F=ma, m1v1=m2v2 still being somewhat true, quantum physics aside), and sitting directly on top of two modern 30mm cannon is still applicable, IMHO.
The bottom line is that headshake is a realistic aspect, but I disagree with how it's been done based on real world experience. It's just my opinion, based on related experiences. I'm not sucking it out of my thumb, nor do I care about servers using 'full switch'. It unrealistically degrades my ability to aim in this attempt to simulate reality, but there are aspects of it which are realistic. Note the italics. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater by turning it off. If you want tactile feedback, buy a FFB stick.
