In an American built aeroplane (ie the propellor spins clockwise from the cockpit), the torque effect will need right rudder to keep the nose straight down the runway. A crosswind from the right helps to nullify this effect, a crosswind from the left exaggerates it. That said, the only aircraft I have flown that has even come close to being a concern is an Airtractor 802. (I have not flown a high performance warbird.) They can nearly run out of rudder on takeoff in a strong left crosswind, however they are fitted with rudder trim. It is generally only when you forget to set the trim before takeoff that you start to worry. Therefore, I would surmise that the direction of crosswind should be of little concern to any reasonably skilled pilot unless:
a) You are flying a tailwheel aircraft and,
b)it has a lot of horsepower.
