Sadly the dive, turn and roll parameters where not typically parameters they tested for in WWII..

This is not to say that you can not find any WWII testing of drive, turn and roll, only that they were not typically part of 'performance' testing in WWII.

Thus most if not all flight sims have to 'calculate' these values.. That is to say you will be hard pressed to find real world data on these values, so they have to calcualte them.

The two important performance values of WWII and thus the two you can typically find are climb (ROC) and speed (TSPA).

There is a third, which is really just part of the ROC and that is the time to climb (TTC).
