Its nice that you have that kind of information source IvanK because you can help to make the most realistic simulation of a mechanical tachometer.

Guess that what you can do now is ask if what we have now looks like a mechanical tachometer, but in my opinion, that steady like a rock needle looks like a electrical tachometer than otherwise.

I agree that the mechanical tachometer in that video looks to soft and excessively inertia and G affected, looks in some how like a cord damaged tachometer, but I think that with the proper tuned down we can have the most awesome mechanical tachometer simulation.

Because mechanical tachometers are, in some grade, inertia affected and in a airplane G affected.

I remember the riot of the "bouncing needles" in the forum, you can find with a easy search people claiming funny things like that the mechanical tachometers was never installed in Merlins, that´s obviously not true, or that mechanical tachometers was never installed in cars, jeez even I had a motorcycle with mechanical tachometer.

All this in some how heated the debate and we lose the sigh.

But in the end we are looking for the same thing, that is the most awesome WWII airplanes simulation, so if we remember this we can find a way and some answers to reach the goal.
