A buddy who has flown ther A-320/319 over a year came by the c0ckpit as he boarded.

I asked him about rudder input during takeoff with a "V1 cut".

He (among other pilots) said that much less muscle or force is required to keep the plane straight. Some A-320 pilots claim that a crosswind landing takes some practice, although I don't understand how constant inputs on ailerons and rudder can be that different than in the old jets we now fly.
