I'm glad you guys are finding something useful from my web diving.
I didn't know there was info on the merlin 66 and 70 spits in that document - thats great!
And yes I believe the 66 was LF and 70 was HF.
I found some performance graphs for a merlin 66 spit IX from another game. I'm not sure of their validity but they do look well researched - they are compared to 2 109 f models a 110 model and a FW 190a4. Have a look and see if it looks useful.

I still haven't found any useful information on the merlin 63 spits - just the 408 mph top speed.
There was a comment that stated that the merlin 66 was equivalent to the 63 but optimized for low flight.
Now here my lack of modding knowledge is going to show.
Is it possible to extract IL-2 3d models out to 3d max or equivalent, modify them and then reinsert them into the game?
If this is possible it might be a way to deal with the problems GBrutus encountered.
Alternately could the cannon blisters be skinned on? I believe I've seen some remarkable work done by some talented skinners.
And lastly in some of the threads I've browsed, I have seen reference to hooks - could this be why the
Mk V canopy comes with the oil cooler?
Can Hooks be changed?
