Normally, trim use in combat is only mentioned in reference to dive pull-outs (sometimes not so favourably), which is precisely the sort of time when you'd be limited by your own strength, although I suspect that many pilots preferred not to take the second hand off the stick during these manoeuvres to fiddle with trims.
However I believe Bud Anderson stated that for the P-51 in particular trim use was a constant process, even in combat.

I could be wrong, but as far as I remember, this is not the case. At least, if you move the stick to max deflection on the ground and then dial in full trim in that direction, you will not see the elevator move further.
