Its all about the helicopter versus the Starfighter. Helicopter sat hovering in the middle, no speed therefore no g (well 1g) the Starfighter with no wing to speak of rushing round at 500+ knots and if it were strong enough pulling 9g albeit with a small turn rate (deg/sec) and a huge turn radius. Play this same scenario with any range of platforms.
The winning ingredient will always be the aircaft that can pull the highest g at the lowest speed and sustain it. Replace the chopper with an SE5 and t becomes a more understandable argument.
