Great video Snako, thanks!

Now, if anyone knows a link or table or something showing each plane's best turn speed?

You can read it from IL2 compare, using the fan plot. It is the symmetrical line you would draw at the highest part of that curve.

i.e.:

According to the fan plot,best turn speed is 330kmh@550m,with 2g's.The Turn Rate is a mere 21deg.The Turn Radius would be quite large at only a 21deg Turn Rate.Also, one must realize the speed measurement will change at different altitudes.
