Default Are flying characteristics more realistic?

I'm curious about the finer nuances of the FMs. Do you see any improvement there?

Groundloop tendency on t/o and landing.

Spin entry + recovery.

Different types of spins: upright vs. inverted; flat; accelerated.

Is a 1g power off stall possible without spinning? Spin entry is pretty hard-coded in FB.

Are proper snaprolls possible? IL2FB lacks massively in this regard. I have some japanese WW2 era footage of a real KI43 doing incredibly snappy 1/2 and full snaprolls, followed by a very crisp recovery. The full snaproll takes one second from entry to exit, and the plane looses a maximum of 2m of alt! This is btw. the only warbird i ever saw doing a snaproll. By comparison, all planes in IL2 are too sluggish on entry and exit. Something's wrong with the modeling, as in IL2FB you really have to stall, whereas in reality it's enough to increase aoa to near-stall, and the sudden yaw will let the inside wing drop into a stall. So, in IL2FB you have to dig into it deeply, and that slows down entry and exit a lot.
By comparison, the KI43 in fighter ace looks spot on, just like in the original footage i saw.
