I'm sure the 'captured' 'German' aircraft they were testing had 'German' instruments in them anyway.
Exactly.....whoosh!!!

Of course, the German instruments will always show up as slower compared to russian calibrated instruments.

Now aircraft performance is a percentage range over an median and that instrument error is not outside that range so you will find some agreement.

actually as a pilot i can tell you that instruments barely ever 'need' maintenance
Baloney....

A considerable amount of maintenance is replacement of instruments. I have had to replace turn co-ordinators, manifold pressure gauges, oil pressure gauges, and re-calibrate rpm gauges.

On every airplane I have ever gotten IFR rated, it required maintenance to the pitot-static system.

All outside of the normal checks and required calibrations.

you put it is towards accuracy.
Acccuracy? You mean flight testing data without understanding atmospheric conditions???

Not very accurate IMHO!!

Almost as amazing as all the "I am real world pilot" on this forum who are testing away, screaming about their favorite gameshape is porked, but don't bother to worry about the atmospheric model or understand it first.
