It may have been that the delivered aircrafts were +/-2% from an average somewhere inside the +/-5% (we do not know where this average was and probably the Luftwaffe did not know either).
This should be always kept in mind. Unfortunately this is a big headache for any flight sim developer.
Personally if we could have all flight data of a good statistical probe for each plane I would like to have statistically scattered performances of planes in the game. But this will never happen as we never will have that data.

Yes, I would love this!
First of all it would be a much more correct representation of all planes.
The even just 2-3% would mean +/- 10-15km/h difference, so folks could not build their fights on tiny speed advantages at certain height levels.
But then I guess that those crying for 'historical' performance now would turn that 'variable performance' off for their dogfight servers...
