For quick turns, reduce the speed. I know, I know, counter intuitive.

To be fair Starfield does tell you that at least. It talks about the marked zone in the speed meter that allows the best maneuvering.

I know, I know, counter intuitive.

...unless you play Il-2 or DCS. Put simply, all fighter aircraft have an optimal maneuvering speed, below or above that your turn rate will suffer. Managing your speed is the key when you're rate fighting. Same mechanics is used in Elite.
