Over the top is more turn performance

Are you rank-ordering these, ie, top of the egg, then oblique, then level-turn? Not sure I understand your statement.
Corner speed is akin to Va right?
Yes
So.. let me see if I have this right? ....
Max loading at corner speed will yield the best turn performance
Yes, where as going past corner speed increases the radius, decreases the rate (or structural failure at any higher G)
Yes, Yes, Yes. Using oblique turns at the right time can allow you to keep cornering speed (if you lack the power)?
Possibly:
If you are above corner-velocity, and need to execute the quickest turn to something behind you (say, a bad-guy), you would start the turn climbing, to help reduce speed. Then, as you neared corner, you would over-bank and continue the turn while descending (assuming power was not sufficient to sustain your turn and speed).
Grade: A-minus. Move to the front of the class.
