Can you direct me to the RAE test please? I've not read it.
Tomcat, I'm not interested in getting into a slanging match, but I'm finding your tone a little condescending. Can we both agree to keep our future posts a little less aggressive? I'm just trying to present the whole picture as I understand it, without fixating on one source.
Likewise Robtek - I have an agenda, true; I'd like to see every aircraft represented as accurately as possible with the widest possible references to minimise the possibility of error. I just happen to know a great deal about a few aeroplanes (P-38 and P-51 amongst them) with the Spitfire being high on the list. My reference library is not exactly small though by no means complete, and it has been thoroughly absorbed over 20 years. So, you'll exuse me for calling someone out if I think they are presenting data that is either unrepresentative, of poor relevance or inaccurate, on a subject i know a great deal - but not all, admittedly - about.
I'm not after a super plane in game; I simply want both sides to have the pros & cons that the prototypical aircraft had. No more, no less.
