According to Crumpp the Spitfire was dangerous:

"The solution for the unacceptable and dangerous longitudinal instability of the Spitfire was bob-weights." These were added not because the NACA made a mistake in some half baked theory on weight and balance calculations. They were added by the RAE to correct a serious stability and control issue with the design."
(No they weren't, they were added by Supermarine to control a truly dangerous instability problem caused by poor loading at squadron level, but we can let Crumpp away with his poor grasp of history - he's only an engineer.
)
One solution to the "dangerous" instability exhibited by the Spitfire would be for the IL2 developers to add bob-weights - ASAP!
