A major issue, to be sure, which ISN'T modelled in CoD (I think Kurfurst issued a BugTracker report -- the Spitfire rolls 4x too fast in a 400 mph IAS dive IIRC. Of course, in CoD the Spit loses its ailerons at 420 IAS, so that kinda looks after that! LOL). I remember reading Douglas Bader "jumped the queue" and stepped on a lot of toes to make sure his planes got outfitted with metal ailerons first. Lovable he may not have been, but he did get results! LOL
