Acceleration comparisons

[Luno13]

So, I guess what Horseback is getting at is that the USN aircraft require more trim to accelerate properly than their IJN counterparts, which is unfair/unrealistic

If anything, that has to be a problem with the IJN aircraft. Changing speed in an airplane requires a fair deal of attention to trim.

I can also imagine that part of the problem is the uber-experience of online pilots - thousands of hours of flight time with zero real deaths...Even if you run away properly they can nail you from 500+ meters (and a lot of pilots use zoom to do it from even further).
