I guess its just a point of fact, for example 320 indicated in game at 1500ft is pretty close to the planes top speed, where the actual plane may have indicated more than that at its top speed.
Also, the plane used in the test is more indicative of the D-27 than the D-27late, operating at a full fuel load and 64" manifold pressure and the N used 70 inches with nearly 2000lbs more weight.
Basically, its just a matter of how far down the rabbit hole you want to go before you realize that Oleg may have been pretty close, in fact, in some ways may have undermodelled it so it wasn't such an uber plane.
