Struggling with RTOs below V1
Doing type rating for the a320 atm, just had my first sim session on RTOs, im struggling badly with ONE ENGINE RTOs before v1 and at low speed as CM1/PM, after V1 isn't bad. Apparently I am not reacting fast enough with the rudder, aircraft ends up perpendicular in the runway/excursion. It was my glaring weakness during MCC as well. I need to know if this maneuver gets better with practice, because it feels like its such a reflex/reactive exercise that you either innately have it or you don't, thus more practice wouldn't benefit much. Is this supposed to be an easy exercise? is it uncommon for people to struggle with RTOs <V1? Worried that this is a massive red flag and would affect me during line operations. Please let me know if you have any helpful advice/suggestions because my confidence is in the dirt and im dreading the next RTO exercise.
Edit: RTO below V1 exercise was engine failure/damage, thus asymmetric yaw effect is introduced.
