Let me try to elaborate. In IL-2 1946 skipping the sim engine starting and all that, you can be on a carrier with chocks up and engine at 70% and let go of chocks it takes the whole carrier to get up to speed for takeoff and that is with the engines warmed up. Imagine the same thing except the acceleration is so fast on the ground its like the plane is accelerating in the air from 0-170+ by the time you can safely pull up you really aren't that far from where you started.

And on the landing thing, I tried to land on the harbour walls between the light houses on the left wall, I almost got it but when I hit 20 km/h I hit the lighthouse!
