Depends on if it is a Ju188E with the stopgap engines or a Ju188A with the engines it was intended to have.  The airframe was ready before the intended engines had been fully developed.  Consequently the Ju188E is notably slower than the Ju188A.

I missed this one, the 188E stopgap engines were BMW 801D2, a whooping 75PS weaker than the Jumo 213 of the 188A, good for a 20kph difference between the variants (Nowarra).

WOuld love a Ju-388, but if the He-177 is controversial imagine the Stortebecker!

Power is only part of the story.  Drag of the installation and critical altitudes matter as well.

Yes, and Nowarra indicates that such differences amounted to 20kph.  What do your sources say?
