You clearly do not fully grasp the nature of trim.

It does, in NO way, WHATSOEVER, increase ability to turn. It does not give more elevator throw. It does not make them more effective. It will only ever alter the stick zero-force point.

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.
