Rudder Control question

I have read that VR can be as high 150kts, with the days conditions as seen on tv ( dont know the performance of the a/c) V1 I guess, wouldnt be greatly less.I'm wondering could anyone say how much Rudder input would be needed for directional control with a failure after V1 on the MD82? Its alot in a large turboprop I know. I have also done it in a 732 sim and the input need is alot less. The 320 I believe auto trims for a failure like this.Would it get the better of a new FO? Maybe overcontrol? I have seen the CNN reconstruction and i think its a waste of time. The tail cone completely falls off after rotation which I find hard to believe. My thoughts are with all concerned "peace be with you"
