CUrtiss Hawk 75 performance debate

We have an interesting debate going on about the performance of the
Curtiss Hawk 75 fighter in an simulator.

The debate has gone on for some months while the research has been done
in aviation museums and the guys have pondered on the differences
between American factore numbers, French numbers and Finnish flight test
numbers about the fighter's performance.

Looks like we're getting to the finals now.

WOuld anyone take a look at the following web page and give comments
whether the discussion and conclusions about the (real) aircraft
performance, engine etc seem truthful / correct? Or are there any clear
problems visible to you?
