The IL2 community agreed long ago that it is not the real life figures that need 100% attention. The trick is to simply recreate the valid differences between the planes. Who cares if the FW190A3 has 2sec slower roll rate if it is still much better than the Spitfire by a good margin? I don`t care if my Bf109 has a 10m/s slower climb rate that in real life. If I still outclimb the Hurricane in a historical manner then I don`t see the problem.
