Slower autopilot turn than the other bombers on FNBF

During FNBF so did i discover that i was way slower than everyone else in autopilot turns, which made i harder to stay in formation,

We did have the same plane he111-16 and same fuel & bomb loadauto. Do any one know what can affect the turn radius of the bomber.  The only explanation i can think of is different trim settings but the plane was trimmed to fly straight with a small climb, nothing extreme.

 

You can see the diffrence during the first 30sec before i break to avoid collision.

Happy - in Auto level you can differentiate the throttles to increase the turn. So if a AL turn of 20 degrees normally takes 30secs, if you cut one throttle and slightly increase the other (dependent upon turn) you can reduce it to about 17 secs.

 

not saying that's what they did just saying what effect it has.
