If you take away porked temp effects then they are about equal

That is the issue and the NOT the FM performance numbers at this point.
It has been shown there is a problem with the temperature effects. Flying the Spitfire IAW the Operating Notes should reward the pilot with the same performance as found with temperature effects disabled.
It is a much more realistic combat simulator if the FM numbers are off slightly if they cannot reproduce the stability characteristics.
If they can model the stability characteristics of these aircraft then the dogfights will be on equal terms regardless of raw performance numbers. Game players really put an inordinate amount of emphasis on raw performance numbers anyway.
The differences in performance have to be surprisingly large for most parameters for it to be even noticeable in the air.
It is the ability to put the gunsite on a target and kill it in World War II aerial combat that determined the dogfight ability of the airplane.
For example, here we have a much more maneuverable opponent but it is the ability to land the punch that wins the day.
