Totally serious... load up IL-2 Compare from 4.07 and 4.11 and check.

FW190A-5 in 4.07:

Best turn speed: 370kph
Turn time at best turn speed: 24+ seconds

Turn time at 280kph: 33 seconds
Turn time at 420kph: 25+ seconds

In 4.11:

Best turn speed: 310kph
Turn time at best turn speed: 23 seconds

Turn time at 280kph: 26+ seconds
Turn time at 420kph: 27+ seconds

So you can see the turn parameters are different and largely better. There is a slightly slower turn rate at the higher speeds but it's a 2 second difference while at lower speeds there is a 7 second advantage. Overall the chart shows a wider spread in 4.11 meaning there is a better overall turn rate for the FW190 across the speed range than there was previously.

It also works seat of the pants... which is why I checked in the first place.
