Reducing powe can or not to help increase turn rate. If you are above your corner speed so reducing power ll help.

In il2 in particular i feel that reduce power to 80 percent in the middle of turn help a little to increase your turn rate for a moment. I am not certain but i feel the aircraft turning faster at cost of some airspeed.

Someway torque of the engine works against your turn, the plane wants to go out and drifts. This way may be setting engine in 80 per cent helps a more stable turn.
