As has been mentioned, for some reason Oleg chose to model a 1942 version of the Mosquito FB.

Later versions were much faster.

Below is a link to a test of a 1943 Nightfighter version, equipped with 1943 version Merlin 61 engines, operating at only +15 boost, it has a top speed of 408 mph, quite a bit faster than the game's version.

Later models which used 150 octane and which had boost raised to +25 had a top speed a little above 426 mph.

The Mosquito outperformed any other twin engined prop driven nightfighter or nightbomber.
