Why Do 335 Very slow / bad

Why the Do 335 A-1/A-0 and Do 335 B-2 is not fast very slow in my experiences using them !
Do 335 fastest prop in WWII ?

Do 335 A-1/A-0 at 4.3+ and other planes at same br are faster how?

is the issue with flight model ?
is the issue the outdated / old model of the Do 335?
engine overheat so fast / take long time to get to speed and climb slow !

I think it had to do that the record was beaten at high altitude + it’s faster Top speed, not acceleration.

Do-335 is fat, because it was meant to be a “schnellbomber”, aka fast bomber.

But since german leadership started to put more priority on the bomber raids, it was quickly swapped for a more anti-bomber duty.

I think it was like that, but yeah, speed record beaten at altitudes where WT doesn’t see much action and only superior top speed, not acceleration.
