I read somewhere it was quite faster in turning but very stable, more then the other. Now that would make a good point in low level anti sub/ship
I guess a few clicks faster turning does not count for much when a 190 is comming in at 700km/h and you do 400 directly opposed.
But it would i guess make a difference with a ship/sub

The phrase (Judas Goat) was also used in World War II by the 8th Air Force, U.S. Army Air Forces B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator crew members. Each bomb group employed a nearly worn-out bomber known as a formation, lead, or assembly ship. These aircraft were brightly painted with group-specific high-contrast patterns in stripes, checkers, or polka dots, enabling easy recognition by their flock of bombers to form up from various airbases over England and fly strategic bombing missions over Europe. After guiding their own combat bombers into the appropriate formation groups the assembly ships would return home—thus their poor condition and lack of camouflage and weapons mattered little.
