The NACA report is not about the static stability. Damped Oscillations are not static.

Why would it be useful to compare all planes to the Spitfire NACA report?

If you have the resources to research, check and if necessary reprogram lateral stability for all planes currently present, I'm sure TD would be more than glad to have you among them.
I am not going to explain the difference between the static and dynamic stability to you here. I repeat , the NACA report is on the static stability about the yaw axis. The torque is only a complicating factor; what has been changed is the stabillity and damping factors and not the torque.
It is only the Spitfire and the Spitfire only to get this kind of a flight model with the low damping factors about the vertical and lateral axes ( yaw and pitch)
Even if we proclaim these values realistic, all the other planes fly with the much stronger damping factors. Now, do you really beleive the Spitfire had by far the least static stability and most unpleasant flying qualities of all the WWII fighters?
