A reputation for speed indeed, but for it's class it's rather fast
335 for a twin engined bomber/attacker is very very much! So you want it even faster??!
Actually, no, 335 isn't.
Look at the speed on the Boston Mk III and A-20G. The Mossie is only slightly faster.
The Boston equiped squadrons were very, very happy to get the Mossie and considered it, despite it's lack of guns, to be bringing them into the modern age of aircraft. The Boston Mk III was considered obsolete.
In AH there would be very little to choose between a Boston Mk III and a Mosquito Mk IV.
As to the Mosquito Mk VI, without the flame dampers it would do over 350mph on the deck. Keep in mind that it isn't a bomber. It is a fighter-bomber. It was used in the fighter/attacker role with great success.
The Mosquito NF.Mk 30 could do over 420mph.
