How would pulling on paddles fix that better as opposed to a little lift?

The nose ALWAYS tucks in with just a small or big lift..
Exactly!! The double paddle is really just there to allow for childish behavior. It was created as a "just like the manual" option.

Never used the paddle neutral function while driving...

Mine turns in really well, front end grip is huge, but you might get a bit of push on corner exits, alignment will fix this easily.

Echo all the above. In a 911 to cure understeer at the limit all you need is a lift. A big enough lift and you'll instantly get the tail out.

Paddles or clutch to *cure* understeer? WTF is that bollocks.

Pretty much EVERY porsche at it's peak performing level will develop understeer at the limit, but in particular slow corners (including racecars)...you pretty much get to wait it out until you're at the point you can maybe let off the throttle for a split second enough to turn the car a hair early, catch it with smooth full throttle and a hair (literally not more than 1/8th of wheel turn )of opposite lock and rocket to your intended path. It's all a part of the 911 game. Oh, and the GTS exhibits a ton of understeer compared to a gt3rs as long as the tires are both in good standing.
