RL combat was a lot different from what we have in these games. If it was then no Spitfire would be claimed by the Germans, since every pilot could ride it easily to its limit.
In real life there were few pilots able to do that, while most would never try to equal those manouvres made by the most brave and skilled... most of the time your only smooth turn would be made during the engaging manouvre, to put you nose on the unaware enemy's six, an enemy who would not turn tight.
Still we have stalling and spinning Spitfires against the Japaneses and pilots not turning tightly against a captured 109 quite surely not flown at his limits.
Were the formers unable to feel the prewarning shaking? Were the latters afraid of what?
