If you don't get the two most important things right, ie speed and rate of climb, it does not mater how well the rest was done

IMHO,that works the other way around also...It doesn't matter if,for example,190 and a Spit have 100% correct speed&climb if 190 has problems in out rolling a Spit or if a Spit has hard time out turning a 190...

Pilot myth...I think that if we can persuade mr Southwood to try ingame Bf109G2,and compare it to Black 6,he could give some useful input about elusive flying qualities.He could say,for example "this 109 requires a lot of rudder input if you want to fly it nicely (ball centered) through a set of maneuvers" and then the fm maker could adjust the fm until Southwood says "this is it,it behaves like a Black 6".That's what I meant by "someone with warbird experience".

As I said,(to me) flying qualities are equally important as speed&climb...and much harder to put in fm.

And thus far I have only been focusing on what they focus on back in WWII

That being the two standard things they tested for

Speed and rate of climb

As noted the rest can be estimated pretty accurately

Can you estimate it?...I need good estimates for one plane ...
