Il2 is a very closed simulation when speed is below 0.8 Mach, but when speed of anything(wing, propeller tip,etc) is beyond 0.8 Mach, not very accurate.
I have been flying this sim for over a decade, and I really only know how to fly two planes well - I-153 and F4F-3. (Yes, I realize that neither of these was available in the initial release.) Is it safe for me to assume that I don't have to worry about the performance of my preferred rides in the 0.8 to 1.0 Mach range?

If you ever go that fast in an I-153, you have a problem. And almost certainly, no wings...
