A simple and little question about COD (please check!)

In a large range of planes (aerobatics included), the stick is directly linked to the ailerons. If you pull your stick hard in 0.001sec, the elevator will react in 0.001sec. Not in IL2 (try ROF, you'll see the difference). That's why I'm asking how it's gonna be in COD.

Direct linking or not, different planes have vastly different behaviour.

It depends by many factors such as inertia, control link friction, and control effectiveness, not to mention how much stability you need to overcome. A plane may react instantly at control input or not, and may stop reacting instantly when you return the stick to centre or not. In many cases, you do have a residual roll rate, requiring a little contrary stick input.

In any case, roll rates have huge differences from plane to plane.
