That's fine information regarding the inferior quality of a component supplied by 3rd party, but does not say anything about the overall performance, especially top speed. Of course, quality of the components matters a lot and if they all meet standards, it is very likely that the aircraft as such will meet them. BUT manufacturer's specifications are more likely to be a target, not necessarily reality. I highly doubt that they would stretch brand new engines to see if every plane goes 500 km/h on the deck, returning them to the manufacturer if they wouldn't.
If the engine ran fine and within specs, they were happy. It was close enough to the specs, some particular aircraft met them OK, but as for the sim, -4 or -5% seems to be reasonable.

The point is that the graph posted by Kurfurst is what the manufacturer would like to achieve, but we all know how it goes in real life, do we? I agree that in Germany it was more strict than e.g. in Russia or Italy (
) This is my opinion and I respect yours. But who are we?
