It may not be the best but the FM2 is an underrated turn fighter.

Spit, KI84, 109, N1k, La7, F4u, P38, F6f.....these are not BNZ/turnfighting only birds...they can do everything pretty good...some can do other things really well (109 in the vert, spit in a sustain turn, hog in rolling scissors)

A6M5B...best turn fighter in game IMO...followed by Brewster. (Still looking for someone to 1v1 me Brew vs Zeak...something fishy to me about brew still :) )

Best BNZ has to be determined based off alt of the fight. An LA7 can't BNZ a 10K plane from 20K...because it's terrible up there bUT below 10K...not much can keep up. Generally at all alts...the P51 and 190 D9 are the easy choices for BNZ...depends if your a 50 call or cannon kind of guy.

left out 38 in the vert :) hangs on its prop like a K4 just doesnt do the torque flip.

BnZ best IMO is the 152 dora typh/temp 51 and jugg except the D11 its more turny

For pure turn fighting EW planes dominate; A6M2, Bf-109E4, C.202, F4F-4, Ki-61, Sptifire Mk I.  I might have missed a few.

For pure B'n'Z the FW-190 series in general and the D9 in particular win over the P-51D due to  control responsiveness at extreme speeds (600 mph).

The fact is that most fights transition between these into and through middle ground opening the field to A's, B's, C's, F's, P's, Spits and others of all shapes and flavors.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
