I see, you want to exclude all rare versions of British aircraft, but its ok to have 109K4 -C3 which only saw service in single Staffel, (approx. 9 aircraft) as experimental aircraft. Or TA-152H, or any number of other German aircraft which are in the game which are very rare or total fantasies. Double standards anyone?

Here's a less rare Mk IX, another 1943 version. Top speed 405 mph.



And the NF Mk 30, equipped with the Merlin 72 at only +18 boost, has a top speed of 397 mph as you can see from table below:



With engines boosted to +21, and 350 + more horsepower, it could achieve 426 mph, as I mentioned above.

Charts showing engine horsepower at +18 and +21:



Either of these aircraft is faster than the version we have in the game.

Amazing how German fanatics insist on one standard for their 'uber' planes, but another for Allied aircraft.

By the way, all these charts ARE from Mike William's WWII Performance. I would suggest anyone who is interested go there:
