No need!

In that it is something I am well aware of, and none of the standard WWII performance charts like TAS vs Altitude and ROC vs Altitude are depended on the E state. As a mater of fact the test methods are preformed such that E does not factor into the test.

For example, TAS vs. Altitude is a 'level' speed test, as in no change in altitude before or after the TAS value. That is to say you can not dive down from 12kft to 10kft and use that TAS value as the max value at 10kft. The TAS value for 10kft has to be obtained in level flight. That is to say you can not convert altitude into speed (convert energy)

Somehow the very same happen here for now.
This is a perfect example of a 'theory' that has no real world data to support it..

That is to say, I challenge you to find any real world data on this so called "E-liability" of a Spitfire..

After just a few moments you will realize there is no such data..
Thus no way anyone could compare the in game Spitfire E-Liability numbers to the real Spitfire E-Liability numbers
Thus no way anyone could say how well the in game Spitfire E-Liability is simulated

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
