Unofficially though... apart from the goof regarding the Immelman booster deck (DH2, Morane, Fokker E.III, Halberstadt D.II) , and the deliberately erroneous Triplane D deck (for financial reasons), the errors are so small in my opinion they fade into insignificance.
You can justify it, if you really need to, by the knowledge that in reality, and in an excruciatingly accurate simulation game, there would be random effects due to differences in rigging that day, how old the engine was, etc.
In my experience, whether I am using an Ares M deck or a Nexus M deck on a Snipe makes no difference, and certainly no significant difference. While I can imagine a situation where it would be important, I really doubt such situations would occur in more than one game in a few hundred.
Why do I feel this way? Consider the limitations in the remit of the OUSC. We had to use existing decks, not make new ones. That meant compromise, and having to ignore minor differences while retaining the important ones as much as possible. A few times we had to grit our teeth, knowing none of the existing decks were really adequate, we had to go with the least worst. With the rejig of the G,P decks and release of T,U,V,W decks, most of our pain was relieved.
