I will try to organise some tests.
This is another thing that keeps me away from CloD.

Models are a bunch of numbers and we already witness that some FM numbers are not correct because of the plane's attitude: what about the data that we can't easily verify like the DM model?

Who does assure me that the developer has put "5" there like he should? And if he put another number why did he? He did voluntarily or not?... see the explosion range of the IL2's bombs...

Infact after 7 months they are tweaking the FM...

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.
