Last night I partecipate to a raid to destroy an Imperial Corvette.
We were an huge group of Rebel and Freelancer ships, I was in the bomber squadron.
The Corvette is just arrived... She's covered by an huge group of TIE and a couple of Gunboat... The Interceptor squad head to intercept the Imperial fighters, we, the bomb squad, put our shields afterward and start the bombing run!
As we arrive in range an huge fire start from Corvette and Gunships, our first wave start taking damage... huge damages... but some of them succeed in launching torpedoes and in firing blaster against the Corvette...
As the first hits arrive to the Corvette she starts to turn... like a fighters!!!!! 
I saw the Corvette changing her heading as fast as an Y-Wing!!!! I was wondering what was happening to the crew (Who remember the Plaid Speed in Mel Brook's "Space Balls"? 
).
).Summarizing: I guess that a capital ship like a Corvette has to change her heading "in a slow manner"... I saw the Corvette heading in one direction and in a couple of second heading to 90 degrees....

I made a comment over groupchat the other night regarding the same thing as I sat there and watched this huge corvette pirroiting in space faster then an X-wing. Realistically there's no way it should turn that fast. It's a real pain especially when you spend all your time to line up a head-on from below pass on the bottom turret only to have the thing turn on a pin. Suddenly your facing the full upper barrage of weapons and you're charging at the engines... this is a capitol ship for pete's sake...

I have issues with the thing jerking around like it's having a seizure, knocking the everloving HELL out of it's escorts. They need to fix it's flight path and flight style.
