Huge difference between .9 G at an onset rate of 25G a hour and 25G a second.... "

Neither of the two RAE documents have any data on G onset rates even in the Tabular results presented.
Ok. They were probably just looking for the threshold on the test carburetor. Not all carbs will meet that same threshold, some will be better and others worse but it is a very good data point.

Combine it with typical onset rates and the tactical disadvantage becomes clearer.

Does the game model the longitudinal instability of the Spitfire, pre-stall, and post stall behaviors?

Do you guys have copy of the actual Spitfire Mk I POH?
