This isn’t really a rules question. But I’ve been trying to puzzle out the relationship between the maneuver templates at X-Wing. Obviously the banks all go 45 degrees and turns are 90, but the banks and turns don’t appear to have any relationship to the straight maneuvers. Is there a relationship here that I’m missing?

Check out Earn your wings . I think this’ll answer your questions.

This wasn't the logic of things per se, but this is a pretty nifty set of measurements. If you're a trigonometry kinda person, the radius of the turns/banks might be interesting to you.
