I wonder if the engine torque is too strong in IL-2 compared to reality.
Especially at high speeds, it would seem like the engine torque would become less important factor.
The airplane ought to have a tendency to keep forward momentum especially at high speed dives.(?)
Bf-109 in particular did not have violent engine torque at higher speeds. According to some pilot notes. Where as during takeoffs when at low speed, it was more of a factor.
I wonder whether the same was true for FW-190 at high speed flight. Was the engine torque significant?
Or was kurt tank's decision the correct one, i.e. the lack of trim controls. Was the lack of trim controls the correct one, especially comparing to the effect of the engine torque?
