Post Rudder response of planes on aircraft carriers

Hi fellow fliers,

I would like to pass you a question on how you feel about the rudder behavior of IL2's planes on aircraft carriers. Do you think the planes' rudder response to your control inputs and taxi capabilities on carrier flight decks are properly modeled?

From my experience there is something wrong:
try to move the plane on a land-based airfield with the rudder (e.g., for taxiing to a new take-off location or parking) and repeat this again on a any stationary aircraft carrier (one that does not move). You should notice that the plane does behave very differently on the carrier; the plane is forced back to its original position or heading like hanging on a stretched rubber band and flipping all the way back. It is quite difficult to turn the plane around 90-180° on carriers.

Please try it and post here your opinions.
