Ok, did some "testing" in simulator mode.
A 109g6 with cannon pods on the wings will loop at 450kmh in about 17 secs.
A la5fn will do the same in 17 secs.
To me, it seems if they have just given "counterpart" aircrafts the same turn performance to dumb the game down or "equalize" for balancing purposes.
Anyways, something was screwed with and it's becoming apparent that trying to utilize historic advantages/disadvantages of aircraft (even in sim settings) will be pointless for online gameplay.
The only planes with obvious performance differences are the earlier fighters like the I-153 and I-16.
I'm seriously dissapointed if this is the case, hope it's just a bug.
