How can I perform the tightest turn possible in a jet?

Question

Sometimes I seem to be able spin my jet around like a top and start going the opposite direction immediately. Other times my jet takes a wide looping turn. This seems to be mostly dependent on my air speed and whether or not I'm using thrust at the moment but I don't have a good handle on it.

What influences the jet's rate of turn? How can I perform the tightest turn possible?

Answer

Actually the fastest way to do 180° turn is to perform the Immelmann turn.

You just pull up until you're fully inverted, then you do a half-roll.
