IIRC, pilots found making a turn against the torque of all that rotating
mass somewhat interesting.

From all I have read the biggest problem was making a "go round" when
close to the ground - a considerable amount of torque reaction.

By the way, the US Navy built a few corsairs with an R-4360, 3500 HP
engine in them and discovered the same thing. Very slow throttle
advancement on the take off roll.
