1500 hp inline engines are pretty rare historically at this point in time (even if you use 1940 vs 1935). Most WW inlines are 1200 hp or less still (Germany has early DB-601s and Jumo-211s, the first Merlins are available in Great Britain, etc). The weight on the 105Mx suggests a somewhat larger plane than a Bf-109G, as well.

On a side note, what nation would Gothia Works Aircraft Division originate from. Coldmere perhaps?

Well the DB-601E in the Me-109F is 1350 Hp, So a 1300Hp engine is acceptable? The F topspeed was 624 km/h so i assume that i can keep the 620 km/h topspeed wit a 1300 Hp engine ( the S-199 seemed to have had a lot of drag)

Coldmere
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coldmere (Steves country) is the Monaco of the North, a small kingdom, surounded by norwegian/nordmakian territory. A small place for the high society (you should be able to find some stuff in the old news). Its largest warships is an outdated DD, IIRC, serving as royal yacht or something.
The most modern unit over there will be the submarine that is currently build in the SAE for Coldmere. It will be used for cruises and thus will get a saloon with much glass, searchlights to see the underwater world outside etc.

To sum it up: One fine day back on the warships1 design board where all this started Steve came up with the idea of joining the SIM, IIRC. But at that time, we had enough players/signatories and thus he choosed to stay and watch the progress. Coldmere was some kind of running gag at first but we got used to it. So he´s officially rated as a participant in the SIM but not as a signatory of the treaty (something similar was planed for India until that player choosed to become a signatory).
