If you have any doubts, go and test with mind conscious of what you're checking. Don't just think about it or talk and be fooled. TEST. CHECK.

Highly recommend this test check approach. Forums are always filled with foolish, ignorant and half-ass experts who insist on giving out advices. I remember when I first started playing IL-2, someone "expert" told me to set my x52pro 100% sensitivity across the board. I took his "holy grail" and had a lot of difficulty aiming and getting kills. Then he told me it was because some planes' fm is porked and unrealistic. I believed in him and followed his suit to bitch about fms. Later I read beginner nugget by Pandabear. Then I realized my problem. After tuning down sensitivity, I was suddenly able to reap in a large number of kills. My aim became much more accurate and my planes seldomly stalled. Now if I feel anything that I don't know, I would first do a bit research then test and try myself to fully understand the issue.
