I'd also like to see the correct roll rates and other things.
Because who is to say when absolute accuracy is achieved? So many sources all claiming differrent things & pilot accounts are terribly biased. However, from the data we can see some general characteristics emerge when the a/c are compared (i.e. Hurricane turning superiority, 109 dive acceleration, Spitfire/109 speed advantage at certain alts etc..). If the devs were to focus on getting the general characteristics of each type correct it would both feel historically accurate & have some balance. BoB is a very unique battle and those who have researched it would see there is near parity between forces, the Spitfire & 109 being a very close match with the Hurricane a not too distant third. Anyway, I think we can all agree the status quo of trying to get things right to the last mph while other major FM errors persist is not working.
