Yes I have. 

They don't behave this way.    Nor should they.   Two small tails or one tall one.   Samey same really.    Perhaps Colombo will weigh in since he has a ton of B-24 time.   It's bigger than what I've flown but I am sure he will have some useful insight.

No airplane in game feels right, frankly.   I've never had rudder and pitch responses lag like this in ANY airplane--and I have flown dozens and dozens of different types.

Of course they don't lag, they're just harder to push than game controllers. Move the rudder control slower and the rudder will track with it.

Direct driven rudders, aka rods and cables.....rudders don't delay in any aircraft, they respond to the control input given. If airpressure is excessive then you can't push the rudder pedal.  Flight sims normally model this by limiting rudder authority at speed, not speed of deflection.

If I can get 10 degrees of rudder deflection at 300knots, it doesn't matter if I get that with slow pressure or by stomping the rudder pedal for a quick deflection.   

Good to know that the FM is modeled with a "deflection rate" and doesn't correspond to input rate...

That's just silly.

Reference what Dobs said.

If you look at the rudder response on the RV8 and Fi156 they track the controller movement.
The lag in rudder response in other aircraft is a game design choice to simulate the higher resistance.
