I think you mean rate of turn, because else you just told everyone a B17 would be awesome in dogfighting due to it's huge turn radius . Turn radius would be the distance travelled in a turn: a small one is most useful. Rate of turn is an indication as to how fast your heading changes: a big one is most useful.
Thought I'd point it out to avoid confusion .
Nice guide btw. Playing realistic now due to laziness, but I think I might start sim soon, although my teammates might start to hate me for being unable to identify a friendly .

I was worried about this at first too but decided to jump into a sim game anyway. It turns out that when you play a team game that everyone gets markings on their planes to tell teams apart. Both the right wing and the fuselage, just before the tail, have a color stripe on them. Blue for team B and red for team A. You may have to get a little closer than you're used to to see the markings but if you look for them they are easy enough to see.

I am using an SD TV and am able to see them, I'm sure an HD TV would make it a bit easier.

Does this game have friendly fire online?

Hey, I learned something new today! I just assumed that B was always blue because I always ended up on team B. I haven't played much online, I still have a lot to learn.

Or if you have mics you can simply ask your teammates to fire their guns....Easier then getting an angle on a teammate and possible being food for a single enemy.

I know about the markings.. guess I should just try it out sometime. Friendly fire is on, sometimes unfortunately. Just now I was playing a game where a certain someone would buzz in when you were on someone's six and try to shoot the crap out of your target. Problem was, he kind of sucked an didn't lead very well, which caused some of the bullets to hit me instead. People should stop shouldershooting.

This is indeed the case.
