BTW you accuse Kurfürst of " a viewpoint". If I were you I'd be very quiet since you obviously represent the other side of that particular medal.
The 'a' is not necessarily for export, there seems to be lots of confusion regarding that.

Buzzsaw is certainly making a good point. The FTH of all 109s in game is 4500m, suggesting that DB 601A-1 version is modelled.

467 kph at S/L at 1.3 ata seem very reasonable (water cooler 3/4 closed). The test were not recalculated for engine's guaranteed power yet.
