Not only that, its a sidestick and the captain has to fly lefthanded.

I'm not saying pilots don't ever use both hands on the stick, just that it's very rare, even in combat. Flying has never been about brute force:

You didn't read my previous post saying the left hand should be moveable just like in racing car games when you change gear in a stick shift car.
Where you are getting your information about it being rare for WWII pilots to use both hands on the stick even in combat? Because that is nonsense. Pilots often needed brute force at high speeds. It is not compareable with modern day piloting.
