A major issue, to be sure, which ISN'T modelled in CoD (I think Kurfurst issued a BugTracker report -- the Spitfire rolls 4x too fast in a 400 mph IAS dive IIRC. Of course, in CoD the Spit loses its ailerons at 420 IAS, so that kinda looks after that! LOL). I remember reading Douglas Bader "jumped the queue" and stepped on a lot of toes to make sure his planes got outfitted with metal ailerons first. Lovable he may not have been, but he did get results! LOL
best bit about that story, is that after Bader had been shot down, and Johnie Johnson was in charge, he got a visit from some angry official asking who had authorised it!
