Ways To Turn Really Fast?
Everytime I chase somebody, they can turn 10 times faster then me and get behind me, even if they have the same plane! Is there some kind of secret technique or something to turn really fast?

Combat flaps, lower speed, no bomb/rocket loads

More speed = less turn ability

Less speed = more turn ability

There is a ballance ther though, too slow and you lose turning ability.

Also, Japan and Brittan are the two best nations for turn and burn fighting.

fly fast then turn (left,right,up or down) im chose up then slow to 200 or 150 jet(350 or 400)
release combatflaps and hold PG DN (page down) if you want you can make your settings to WSAD no to mouse

P51D's are OP in high-speed turning.
Like they said, lower throttle and change flaps to combat.

To pull harder maneuvers use the keyboard controls rather than your mouse.

Bro the secret is that they started with more energy to spare than you did. If you just bleed it all out instantly and he knows how to conserve it in a turn fight you'll die.
Drop your speed and lower your landing gear I find helps

Here is a top tip.... Try and do a diagonal turn, so instead of spinning around on a flat line like this ------------- Try and do it on an angle like this / (Not that high of an angle, as that would be silly) so as he is going around and around you are going around and up, this causes your plane to lose speed during a turn, then if you engage your LANDING FLAPS (Not your combat, they are not as good as they seem) Your landing flaps will then slow your speed down to the minimum you can use for flying (So you can still turn and fly without stalling, then your close your flaps as you are going down the diagonal, and then you open fire.
