That's a poor argument.

The DB of the 109 had far more cylinder volume than the Merlin.

RR did ran the Boost horse simply because that was the way they had to go against the DB. Latter in the war they might also hve understood the huge advantage they had in therm materials of quality.

My old 2L Swedish SAAB engine had as much power than an average 5+L US V8 without supercharger .... But a 2+bar boost level.

I hope you will understand that way

The boost level in German plane is more linked to the lack of Nickel in their engine material. They had to build thicker internal surface and build bigger eng in order to run their eng at a lower temperature.

This has nothing to do with a comparison with the Merlin.

Interestingly, if we do compare the application of aviation engine in tanks, we might show that reciprocally, the bigger German eng where more reliable in that application. But honestly this is pure speculation.
