I was a 0 time pilot and was amazed at how when I flew, the quick onset of 5.5 Gs made the world go grey, but when Grumpy demo'd it was blended (and probably coordinated) such that the G load was not as bad.

Jeez though! T-34A's!!!
5 g's is 5 g's - the only difference is onset and how well prepared you are to handle that onset. Everyone has a different resting g tolerance too and it could change day by day. G tolerance is also built over time and exposure.
