I am a bit skeptical about the quoted speed figures. Looking at the F-80C (via wiki as it is the most complete source I can find. Figures sourced from a NASA document), the proposed Fw340 is within 20kph of the F-80C (I do note that there is no altitude figure provided for that speed) while having a engine with 7.33kN less thrust and weighing 507kg more empty (given there is only loaded and max takeoff sited for the P-80C I do not want to assume any relation to the gross weight noted). I would feel more comfortable with a reduced speed figure for the aircraft as presented.

Problem with wiki is that in almost all cases it only shows that data of one version of the plane and it is usually a later version (IIRC there are a few rare occasions where the data of two versions are given). I prefer to look at the data from the aircraft section of http://forum.valka.cz as it has the data on multiple versions (not all) of one plane...

I've no problems with the F-84B clone, as long as the engines are a sufficiently good match in terms of thrust and power/weight ratio. That matters as much as any specifications.

For thrust, I think it should either be the given thrust or more or the given thrust with the same speed or less.
Having quickly looked at the variants of the P-80 and P-84 and seeing that they carried up to 10 HVARs, I think the "two 220 kg bombs and sixteen 128mm rocket projectiles, or up to thirty-two 128mm rocket projectiles" is well off...
In any event, one has to be careful with data from Wiki and take it with a large dose of salt.
