Redid the tests for the two planes I tried before as well.
La5FN 17 seconds
La7 18 seconds
Yak-3 14 seconds
Bf109F4 14 seconds
Bf109G2 15 seconds
Bf109G6 16 seconds
-20mm pods 18 seconds
Bf109G10 17 seconds
Bf109K4 18 seconds
All these aircraft are available in Birds of Prey, so it should be possible to repeat these tests there. I'm sure you will agree Oleg Maddox as a Russian is not going to be biased towards the German aircraft, though I have faith that he would not have favoured the Russian aircraft either.

The g6 NEVER could stay in sustained turning circles with an La5fn in 1946 on realistic settings, it can and the some in BOP.
The 109g6 was NOT a turn fighter.
