His reply was on a bad tone but he might be right with respect of atm being not equal to ata. I myself was not sure if atm = ata that's why I used atm for my calculation.

Unfortunately there is little information about the outdated ata but 1 at (technichal atmosphere = pressure produced by a column of 10m water) is equivalent to 735.56 torr (almost identical to 735.56 mmHg). ata is with a reference point of 0 (I assume 0m that is sea level), so this would be the pressure produced by a 10m column of water at sea level. That's what wiki told me.

I am quite sure they used the ata gauge in the plane to measure it and then translated it into mmHg.

There is one minor uncertainty with respect to the French measurement of the manifold pressure however. The mmHg values depend on the knowledge of the density of mercury. This knowledge may have evolved since ww2 so there is a slim risk that they used a different mercury density for their mmHg units. However I think there is quite a weak chance that knowledge on density of mercury evolved so much that the mmHg values would be impacted by this to the precision that is of interest here.

So basically the French obtained 494 kph at 600m with 2400 rpm and 1.346 ata.
Extrapolating pessimistically to 0m they would have obtained 478 kph at 0m with 2400 rpm and 1.332 ata.

The ingame performances are still enormously off these values.
