Are you sure it is low speed turn fighting? AI F4Fs do turn fighting vs. A6M, but at speeds where an A6M has trouble following because of the increasing control stiffness. They use their roll advantage a lot - at high speeds the Zero's roll rate is strongly reduced- and as Aces usually they best you if you try to follow - if you ever enter a rolling scissors maneuvre with an AI Ace F4F at speeds above ~400kph -you are already dead.
