heyho!
bullshit...
RM ss6 is theoreticaly possible to reach 40kn too like allothers except IJN - but only with extremely optimized crew (mega-engies!) or sacrificing handful of torps. just a point of weight...and/or money ;-)
but its very hard to reach...
with that i think its maneuverability is not soo bad.
38kn easy, 39kn no bigger problem... ;-)
