Diagram shows something that did not exist in real life and luckily it does not exist in the sim either. Spitfire can realize the turn performance advantage at almost any moment unless the speed difference is largely in favour of the 109 - at which point the 109 pilot won't try to enter a pure turning competition (and that's what we're talking here about) anyway.
The diagram is accurate and uses industry norms for determining aircraft performance. Its does not fit any aerodynamic science that the Spitfire shoudl realize a turn performance advantage under all conditions.
