Bare in mind that gun cameras are frequently shown in slow motion and what you are seeing may have been very brief. 

I've some very good quality gun camera footage of Tempests over France, at home.  There is some fantastic deflection shooting in some of them.

F4U can turn with zero, just not too long. I did it several times and even won few fights.
But I quite sure there was no real turnfight in that video. Would like to see it anyway.

could you post this because Tempys are my favorite ride, but I didnt know about them until I played aces high.

Maybe he was AFK getting a beer.

If it was a 38 I'd say he was in the kitchen making margaritas....

Motion is relative...perhaps the shooter is matching the prey's movements...perhaps the prey isn't trying too hard to evade (the term tumbleweed comes to mind).

Hartmann said that 80% of his victories were against pilots who never knew what hit them.

[Latrobe]

Well you can see why they don't turn or anything....it's harder to hit them!

Try flying with icons off.. I imagine it would be easy to get bounced when you dont see a red icon 5k away.

As for gun cams, i would be willing to bet most are probably after the turn fighting has bled so much E that the fight returned to some sort of straight run to extend . Or just to make the person look good he had his friend fly straight.. lol.
