Ive been playing the game online since it came out and I still struggle to turn with some people when flying the same plane as them, its one reason why I mostly boom and zoom. Brickster for example can out turn me easily if we both fly his spit xvi and I watch him and he is doing nothing different than me, no yoyos, same speed, same elevator sensitivity. I think it might be the joystick gives you an advantage over the gamepad. I find yo-yos doesn't really work with the joypad as you can't use full elevator at the same time as using your ailerons to roll because the joypad sticks only have a circular range of motion. Don't know about the xbox flightsticks but all my pc sticks have always had a square stick motion so you can use full elevtor and full ailerons at the same time (good way to stall lol).

Ive even tested this with Over G fighters which has a stick calibration option. You can shape the circular xbox sticks to work more like a square shaped one, and the difference it makes in manovrability is huge.
