I can't figure out how they got the lift coefficient numbers so wrong. They seem to rely purely on the dubious British tests.
In clean configuration, gear up, no flaps and no slats even (+ a shorter wing), a prototyoe V24 was tested and acquired a Cl-max of 1.48. With slats and a longer wing (increasing aspect ratio), I suspect a Cl-max of atleast 1.65 in clean configuration with gear up & no flaps.
The Bf109F featured a Cl-max of ~1.7 in clean configuration according to MTT documents. So very similar.
