GenSwat is correct. I will add a few things.
Although the discussion is not PC Tech in the way it evolved, I see how you would ask about the stick. You can adjust your hotas controls to make the transitions of input smoother, which makes it easier. You could use the program that comes with your stick or get an aftermarket program to assist you with this. Sorry, I do not use Saitek or after market helps, so I do not know the details.
However, having a greater distance of input in the stick to get output control surface movement helps to make smoother transitions than the less forgiving shorter settings. One of the reasons why the WW2 pilots had to use floor pedals and a floor mounted stick was to achieve the longer input motions for finer control. There are a few programs which diplay data on the screen to compare these settings with your control surface results.
Use trim very sparingly. Not much is needed. All three input axis should be set for trim in your Controls settings within IL-2.
After getting a couple hundred hours flight time, your response will become automatic to ever changing circumstances. Hence, the saying " The pilot must become one with his aeroplane. "
If you have stuttering in the simulation, then you must do everything that you can to manage your computer and IL-2 for optimization. The decrease in stuttering directly improves your joystick input responses, of course.
I hope that I helped.
