    @AndrewGarrison oh, that may be it, I didn't took nozzle mass into consideration

    I verified that the forces are actually the same. I think what is happening here is due to the slight difference in mass between the RCS and the CoM is slightly towards the new RCS which gives the old RCS extra torque. Here's another example that shows they are more closely matched. Here's an example I put together. Just hit translation mode and then press 'A'.
