You right, thats not a matter of opinion, and in technical instruction/flight manual of MiG-15bis, i haven't read about any controll troubles which can't be slowed by the trained pilot.

I personally prefer different triggers for any type, cose of ammo usage. But the pilot who told this thing was pretty happy with one

May be this one of rare. Many MiG pilots in Korea told the same thing: "no fragments on the ground - no victory".
