I'm not an engineer but I read the guys writing about calculating propeller efficency by software. So it's like working on the designs.

For the inside components' performance instead we still need historical data (engine, radiators ect are different things).

So we should complain about Overheat times, Guns' efficency ect, but not about things like max speed, climbing rate, acceleration ect.

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.
