Dunno, my ch pedals seem pretty immidate.
But I have also noticed that each ship varies greatly in rudder response and a lot of them seem to be rather on/off in nature.
Vulture being one of those.
In fact the ship I found with the most linear rudder response was the type 9

or the clipper.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
