How do G- forces work??

[Obamenau]

I dont play planes very much so i still dont really understand wat they do.

At one point in a RB I was fighting against another plane with my FW190 D-13 .We flew past eachother ( no damage) and i did a turn to reengage, but suddenly these weird gforces kicked in and i couldnt move my plane properly anymore. My opponent didnt seem to be affected by it and easily killed me when i was 'stunned'. Even though he did the same maneuver as I did if I recall correctly.

Am i missing something?

he may have some higher crew skill in the g force crew skill. try upgrading that, or learn what your plane can handle before going all out and loosing control

Does it alway happen when doing maneuvers?I was doing a simple (sharp) turn and barely could move after that.

In super simplified terms, when you turn "upwards", you get G-force, which causes your blood to rush to your legs, leaving your brain with no blood/ oxgen, so you blackout. Vice versa, when you do a "downwards" turn, you get negative G-force your blood rush to your brain, so your screen turns red. (in real life this kills you).

Bascially, watch your G-force when a red warning flashes on screen. Too high a G force would causes blackout, or even losing coutrol of the plane for a few second (enough to get you killed). In RB and SB, it can get your wings ripped.
