The lack of modelling of the Spitfire's pre-stall buffeting.
I agree.

The pre-stall buffeting of the Spitfire and its effects should be modeled.

Quote:
it was quite possible to ride this edge for maximum turn rate.
Yes, except maximum turn rate occurs in smooth airflow not buffeting. The buffet is often used to find this point and then backing off to smooth air.

If you turn in the buffet, your rate will decrease and your radius increase.

The more high energy the buffet, the greater the effect.
