I'm willing to bet this is the reason Akuma is getting out turned too.
Allot of the turn issue is energy, or lack of it.

The way I would normally approach a turning battle is to pass the opponent, bank and reduce throttle to about 70% and apply rudder to tighten up the turn. Then at the apex of the turn, apply throttle back to 100% and maybe even a quick blip of WEP to get the airspeed up.

Hopefully that will bring me to at least a nose to nose with the opponent and then its a case of who can put the pickle on the target first.

But it seems that other players have a better way of doing it because as I draw what I think should be level, the other player is already raking me with gunfire.

I know some planes turn better than others, but when its two planes of equal type then I must be doing something wrong, so tips would be helpful.
