...because of course, you know exactly how much a ww2 bomber is supposed to pull to one side at take off, right?

Look, im not saying that everything is perfect but let's assume that the devs did their homework and at least tried to model things as they're supposed to be, including pulling 'too much' to one side on take off, or dropping 'too much' one wing at full throttle (I read that on another thread).

BTW, 'too much' and 'too little' are relative. For instance, if you're used with the old IL-2 you may think that some CoD planes pull 'too much' to one side, but if you have flown any real prop plane including UI and GA you know that torque and propwash effects were way undermodeled in the old IL-2, even a 200HP GA has more torque than a 1500HP fighter in IL-2.

The point? I can't tell for sure because I never flew WW2 planes, and even with modern planes my experience is extremely limited (never earned any license, not even private), but I suspect that your 'too much' isn't really too much, but only a more realistic approach at torque and propwash modeling

(OTOH im just guessing, I might be wrong after all...)
