This does not account for true skill but if your stick is not set up properly or has a bad USB port, no USB powered support or loose/weak parts in stick from heavy use you will not be able to do control the plane as well as you should.
Nose bounce, lack of full motion or spikes all degrade your control.
For the last couple of months my stick would need to be re calibrated once a week or so. Out of nowhere it would just want to roll in a simple maneuver or i would lose control in a diving or climbing turn. Last night it happened to me again while fighting Shuffler, who is an excellent 38 pilot it turns out. After being killed I went up again and had same prob and re calibrated. It was fine after like so many times before but when i mentioned it on range Yanksfan asked if i use a powered USB. I don't and all my usb ports are full plus a few months back I replaced the old power supply with a cheaper version and less watts. My problem probably lies in the USB port as well as many of you who just can't seem to make your plane do what others can......or the above other explanations.
Start at the obvious and work your way down.
Great post btw although I'm stubborn and have a hard time believing some of the things I see.
Indestructible tanks, goons out of control and falling landing safety dropping troops, warp on command, wingless planes, incredible turning abilities and a few other glitches I suppose I should call them. Most can be explained
