I is very frustrating and discouraging.. I am looking for tips and technique on how to make such a sharpe turn. I know all about the elevator sensitivity and etc, that is not the issue here. i know there is a technique that i'm not being told... I'm new and I know you all learned how to do these things, but it took you like a year to figure out, i don't have a year to do so as noone will be playing it then.. i wish to be competitive now and any help would be appreciated...

Keep flaps in combat position when turning, it helps a lot!

Also, try to adjust your throttle to get closer at your enemy. There is not a general rule for this that works for every situation, you have to check your turn trajectory, speed and radius compared to enemy position and fly trajectory. Sometimes, to outturn an eneny plane, i just turn in WEP. sometimes i need to reduce power to 0.

Keep in mind that speed make your plane turn faster, but will increase turn radius. Also, speed will make your plane more reactive and agile. Good Luck!
