hey funked I tested circle times of the P-38L...
25% fuel light ammo load: 20sec 360 riding deep into stall horn w flaps (18 deg/sec)
100% fuel full ammo load: 22sec 360 riding the stall horn with flaps ( 16.4 deg/sec)
and the p51d left turn...
25% fuel 4 guns: 23 seconds 360 w flaps (15.6 deg/sec)
75% fuel(aux empty) 6 guns: 26 seconds 360 w flaps (13.8 deg/sec)
and the n1k2j left turn...
25% fuel: 17sec! w flaps (21.2 deg/sec)
100% fuel: 20 seconds with flaps (18 deg/sec)

I achieved these times by riding the stall as hard as possible (slowest controlable speed)and recorded the third turn after 2 complete 360's at sea level. e was blown completely... these were the sustained turn times. the initial 360 turn times with E were FASTER! than these sustained 360 turn times

after killing so many of you guys I just dont think your pulling hard enough with those 28 sec 360 turn rates
