G LOC and blacking out are 2 very different things. You should be able to black out in any WWII fighter. As to G-Loc I dont believe ANY WWII fighter could generate sufficient G onset rates and total G to cause G-LOC..... unless in the process of breaking up.
The average G suit provides about 1.5G extra margin over blackout thresholds. Many US fighters in the European theatre towards the end of 1944 were equipped and pilots fitted out to wear G suits.
Few (if any) other combatants used or were equipped with them.
