Reading through the Armoured A/C website, it lists the Firefly as especially optimized for low level performance.
But it has a higher Sea Level speed than at 3,500 feet?
Is that possible?
Apologies to Greyman, I borrowed your graph and added the Firefly.

Fulmars are from the A&AEE, Sea Hurricane is from official data points from somewhere ... MAP I believe. A6M2 is from http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/japan/intelsum85-dec42.pdf
