You shouldn't give to much on the label within the game, the FB VI is more a "Early 43" a/c and can be used well within 1944 until the introduction of the MW-50 boosted Luftwaffen fighters (Mid to Late 44). This timeframe fits perfect to the Normandy map.

Boost levels were increased as the war went on, by the end, the Mk VI was using +25 boost.

Where is that version???
Like with the other fighters +25 lbs. was introduced to intercept the V-1 and the use within 2nd TAF didn't start before the end of the Normandy campaign. (see: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...rade-fuel.html)

Sure for a 45 scenario a later +25 lbs FB VI would be needed and for a 44 scenario a little boosted (Merlin 23/25) FB VI would be nice but if you limit the planeset to common types (e.g. Bf 109 G-6 in Mid 1944) and not only to the latest but limited available types it's ok.
