Also are you sure you're reading the speed right. Indicated Air Speed (IAS) is what shows on the cockpit gauges and True Air Speed (TAS) is what shows on the "wonder woman" invisible cockpit view. IAS and TAS are the same at sea level but diverge increasingly as altitude increases (and air density decreases).
Top speeds of aircraft are all given in TAS which makes this a fairly common complaint. I'm not sure if that's the case with the modded F-86 but my guess is that it could be.

Hmm. I thought it came with 1946. Just checked a clean 4.11.1 install and it's not in there so yes it must be from the modpacks I've been using then, I've used UP and now HSFX. It's been so long since I played stock IL2 1946 that I forget what's been added to it.
What do you mean by "wonder woman" invisible cockpit view? I'm looking at the speed in mph on the little hud in the bottom left corner (think it's referred to as the speed bar?) btw.

It does not mean that you're flying slower - there should be a IAS/TAS vs altitude chart for the a/c that you can consult, to get an idea of the relationship between the two indicators.

I see. Any idea where I can find an altitude chart for the F86?
