I think we should trust devs more with their research in general terms, I would expect the complains about speeds to be also true in the game as I would think that the official data don't show the max speeds with the plane fully loaded with ammo and fuel. I could be wrong there, but I guess the devs did enough research on many aspects of the game, especially the engine and FM. Not that it couldn't be improved....

I don't want to push this thread off track but actually he says ''you
stuff your stick forward and the engine immediately cuts''
For anyone who doesn't know, that means you shove it forward quickly and very definitely and I would expect the engine to cut then as you would be inducing a severe reduction in G, probably even to negative G. Bear in mind this is the sudden reaction to finding yourself near the stall with the need to get out of that situation as quickly as possible.
There is a summary on this forum by a current Hurricane Mk1 pilot which goes into more detail. I believe the cutout is coming into effect at too low a reduction in G, possibly around a reduction
of 0.3G rather than a reduction
to 0.3G
