Yes, this is the intention of the Vampire's design. You explained it well enough. Those who feel it is too sensitive are just unable to cope with the technology advances.I always thought that the enhanced roll/pitch gave it an all-round combat advantage... you can always roll quickly to match his direction, and keep the Vampire's pitch axis aligned.
But then, it's a bit like flying the Wasp with the booster still hanging on - the reduced manoeuvrability really hampers its effectiveness.
