The real problem (challenge) is knowing what it should be changed to! Ask 10 people here what 'energy' means and your likely to get 10 different (and wrong) answers! Truth be told you will not be able to find much if any real world data on 'energy' values wrt WWII aircraft, not in the post war since/definition of 'energy'.. In that it wasn't until just after WWII that a real 'standard' test was defined to measure energy and the change in energy.. Up until than 'energy retention' was loosely defined as a 'zoom' test.. And those tests were done mostly in the field, read not a typical performance test done under controlled conditions In summary, until you know what the 'value' should be there should be no talk of 'changing' the current value

Theres a reason for instrumenting a plane for test..
That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
