Why? Well because there is no real way to test it and thus no way to prove it For example.. Can you find me the test report that shows the top speed of a P51 with three 20mm holes in the right wing, that are 13" back from the leading edge and 1 ft away from the wing tip in a grouping patern hole of 1.4 ft with an entrance angle of 60 degrees and and exit angle of 30 for two shells and 33 for one shell See what I mean? In short all comments on DMs ar opinion based, based on a summary of pilot reports.. Problem is people tend to forget these pilot reports are those pilots that made it back from combat to write the report!  About the only thing that can be tested for are structural limits.. You know at top speed the wings tend to come off types of tests Long story short, we have to trust the sim maker knows what he is doing when he simulates the DM

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.
