Default Roll Rate and Mass

JUst wanted to ask, Il2 had two serious problems that negated some aircrafts actual strengh and weaknesses. That was roll rate and mass. For example the FW190 was never really able to play out one of it's main historic strenghs, it's roll rate, giving it such maneuverability.

In Cod that problem appears to be solved, considering that the 109 has a much better roll rate then the Spritfire, which in a close in dogfight negates a lot of the Spits turning advantages and thus even makes dealing with the Spit II fairly easy, given you know what you do. But what about mass? did anybody make any tests yet in this regard, zoom climb abilities and such?
