Afaik vne for the earlier P-38 models, i. e., where when they lost elevator authority, not structural integrity, and varied with the altitude.

VNE is the "never exceed speed" an indicative airspeed value which
in theory is set a bit before the speed when the first signs of flutter would occur, but some constructors set it at the first signs of flutter. Reaching the VNE is easier when diving, because the increase of air density with the diving attitude have a surprising airspeed acceleration effect. You can have flutter before reaching VNE, it depends on many factors but it was a common occurrence, and it's flutter that triggers the loss of structural integrity.
The ingame 110 behaviour is correct, it's the speed at which flutter triggers that is wrong.
