I realise Il-2s implementation of this is not great, however, a competent pilot will trim as he fights, and pre-empt situations. I suggest you start flying the P-38 to learn how to do that effectively.

It is not 100% true that trim "in NO way, WHATSOEVER, increase ability to turn". You seem to believe this yourself when you mention the P38. By using elevator trim you can increase your ability to turn, as you won't have to fight as much compression/weight. You kind of contradicted yourself that post.
