Fix flight model of this plane. Its imposible to aim with this thing. Bad reacting for mouse cursor move. Is it joke?

The Scimitar had horrid rudder response in real life as well. If you want something akin to it with better rudder authority get the Hunter.

As has already been mentioned by @TheSEB313 the Scimitar had a poor rudder.
It was okay from 70 knots when it became effective but progressively began to seize until at 520 knots (~1000km/h) it was virtually unmovable.
I asked about this after finding these extracts from the pilots notes, as I thought that perhaps the rudder was seizing correctly in-game but not effective enough when it was not seized. As in 1 degree of deflection did not move the nose as much as I thought it should. But apparently it performs correctly.
The aircraft just has a poor rudder.

This should be closed as this is not a discussionable point, as the rudder characteristics of the Scimitar are realistic to real life. There is a reason no matter how good the climbrate was for the Scimitar, it was rapidly replaced after a couple of years with more modern aircraft.
Dont use this plane outside of SQRB
or GRB if you don’t have the Bucc S.1, 4 Bullpups (wtf) at 8.7 is or was golden

You can still use it fairly well in GRB.
