I think the glideslope needle is too sensitive in FG. :) I don't have any harder evidence either, but I'll throw in my 2¢ anyway. I've been practicing constant AoA landings in the A-4 over the last week or so (getting really good at them now, gonna have to code up arrestor wires pretty soon...), and using the ILS receiver to train my eyes to recognize the right glideslope. It's definitely very touchy, even 2-3 miles out. My sense is that maximum deflection of our instrument is only a small fraction of a degree, when it should* be something more like 1° or so.
