Neither if the guy who changes the FM is an aeronautical engineer, working with professional software and testing all the planes by this software? Many IL2 planes are really close to the real performances according to software simulation + historical data. Other planes are very different according both. Strange isn't it?

I'm more inclined to have faith in a professional software output than a sim developer opinion (and we know how he's easily influenced by some customer's opinions).

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
