Is it still a discussion about correcting performance in the game or do we fight the real BOB again?
If it's still about the game, then I doubt that taking some perf. tests from captured aircrafts will get us very far. It's pointless to discuss about taking such data for the FM. Why? Simply because it would be impossible to estimate the average performance of several thousands of planes at a given time in a given battle. Especially when you don't have a representativ number of tests.
How can it be justified to change the top speed of the 109 based on a few testflights from foreign countrys?
And if we would go down that road, how about low production quality in late war scenarios? Or other factors who would affect performance?

IMO the only way to have acceptable performance data is to take the theoretical values which should be reached by production aircrafts under normal conditions. Everything else is just BS.
