Rudder control is one of those things in the old planes, and those things are usually the difference between out-stalling an aircraft to live, or doing it to get the kill. Also, to get in that situation, you kinda need to takeoff, so you need something as your anti-torque, heh. You probably get the point by now; while I'm sure it's perfectly plausible to "trim" your rudder for takeoff in some way, it's a competitive control surface for an aircraft of the era.

That's interesting. I suppose that's part of the Data Cartridge? Assuming you do mix loads, will the sim load the ballistics based on hardpoint, or by the first one you put on in the loadout screen? Just something to think about.

As the dude above says, it sounds like a switch you're in charge of. If you have stores and feel like pulling max G's ajyway, put it in AA :P.

Yeah, good choice on the button. Sometimes you just have to yank and bank, and it's better if that's a more predictable experience (Like if you have to yank and you want a max-g from the start).

Zee Mi-8 Hip. You're cool for doing this, by the way.

There are people who actually call it "Fighting Falcon"? Like, as a thing?
