LW aircraft speed specifications

This is so unspecified that it is absolutely worthless besides the anecdotical value.

What german fighters in which version and what equipment? No Information.

Were they trying to reach the 190 A8 speeds with a F8 or so?

And then hearsay from a german specialist, who might say anything to please his new masters.

Worthless for any real value deductions, i'd say.

I think you need to prove that.

Well TsaGi actually measured their Bf 109G-2 a bit faster than the German 'official' specs...

Problem? The first test published on the 109G the website were actually the worst ones (WNr. 14 026). You have there the worst and best tests, and everything between them.

Well, personally I believe the official specs (given with +/- 3% tolerance) are in good agreement with most tests, see Erla trials of 13 serial production airframes in avarage almost exactly macth the official figures; this is also true for the Soviet trials.

The rest are also well within this +/- 3% production tolerance, given variations in equipment etc.
