I tested several of the IL-2 roll rates years ago.. and compared them to that NACA document that had several roll rates listed for several planes.. I forget the doc number.. But it had the Fw190, P39, zero, P38, and a few more.
What I found was most of the roll rate curves had the righ shape.. but the peeks were quite different, and, occured at quite different speeds. In the Fw190 case, it's peek occured at a much lower speed than the real Fw190 and the peek value was a bit larger.
Basically the curve was shifted LEFT wrt speed and UP wrt ROLL RATE
What sucks for the 190 is it's peek happens at a much lower speed, so the 'classical' tatics will not work like they should.. That is to say the Fw190 was a true TnB figher.. but because it's peek roll rate is shifted down to a much lower speed you can not make use of the great roll rate at the higher speeds tatics wise.
Each plane I tested has simular effect.. But it has been so long I don't recall what they were, the 190 results did stick out in my mind so I remember them
In laymans terms.. The ingame Fw190 roll rate is 'twitchy' at low speeds with regards to roll rate.. Almost too fast.. but at higher speeds the roll rate is much lower than it should be which means you can not apply the 'classical' roll rate tatics used by real 190 pilots
