Those figures seem to be a bit of suspect when looking at the altitude where the topspeed is achieved (assuming you mean the altitude which is in feet is correct ) and the very low cruising speed. Also the max. take off weight is awfully high. Also I don't really buy that climbrate. AHT lists climb rate for Q as 3250fpm with combat power.
I take exception to what you cut out.
The specs are similar to what other sites and books give.
Such as on wep HP 1590hp for the P-39 N2, from Americas hundred thousand.
Iv'e seen speeds as low as 350 mph and as high as 399 mph.
I've read climbrate as low as 2500 to 4100.
Cruise 200 to as high as 270.
Also from aht. Gross wt bomber mode 8086, normal load 7570.
I used Zeno's numbers as I was on the sight looking around and it was convenient. Don't think I haven't looked at multiple sources.
