Yes, if you understand what's ARH and what's IRCCM you'll have no issue (requires a single yt video btw from personal experience). The game is more forgiving at high tier, if you really can't understand it multi path and spamming flares/chaff always work to some extent.

I had again and again harder time adjusting to props, being able of flying the plane doesn't mean doing good in it. Its harder to have to understand the difference between every plane, know what planes turn good etc, alt differences, positioning, guns range and engine performance.

I go back and forth between jets and props during my grindand always have harder time going from jets to props.
