Is this a fact or a feeling? I have the relevant radiator areas, so what are the figures and from where?

The devs are aware of this, and they should be made aware of all instrument error -- including the dodgy Rate of Climb indicator in the RAF aircraft as well.
As I understand the indicators have "electric" and "mechanical" types in the sim. Could it be that real world RAF and LW preferred different type of instruments, and this is modelled (perhaps wrongly) in the sim?
