yes, it is a high altitude fighter. No, it does not carry bombs, or a bombsight.

check your spelling.

why would you REMOVE it from the list, instead of ADDING your idealistic planes to it.

the ground capability is prefound. in perspective, it is much like a modern A10 wart hog; it has huge, light wings which can give the aircraft the ability to glide or crawl at very slow speeds. It carries two 20mm and a 30mm, which is can kill a tank. the A10 carries almost the same weapons.

good dogfighter. used properly (altitue is your friend!) its a death machine.

and the very best thing is.....
....you can get uber uber easy kills of bombers with it. thats what it was built for and thats what it does best. it will give you a lot of perks.

Well it was built as a high altitude long range escortfighter and interceptor. Not a bomber killer, well, not a specialized bomber killer atleast.

It is in no way capable or doing anything to a tank. The 30mm in the Ta152 is a Mk 108, velocity of the shells is around 650 meters/sec (about 2000 feet/sec), far too low to penetrate tank armor, even rear armor as the shell is also too light. It fires 600 rounds per minute (10 a second)

The A10 has a 7 barrel high velocity gun designed to take out veichles. The plane is more or less built around the gun, not the other way around. It fires about 70 rounds per second which is 4200 per minute. The shells are designed to take out armor, not to take out soft or semi soft air targets. (not that any air target would surivive anyway).

Actually it won't as it's only got a 5 ENY rating.  If you want to go perk farming there's multitudes of other planes that will do much better for you (the FW190-A8 w/2 30mm, 2 20mm and 2 machine guns at an ENY of 30 for instance) but if all you want to do is blow stuff out of the sky then the TA152 is a lot of fun to fly.

i shoot down ta 152s all the time its like a b26s in a dog fight

In the main arenas?  I've seen exactly one in approximately 120 hours of play since starting AH....  and he got impatient, and tried to out turn an F4U.

TA152s are far more common than you think..... i see them all the time.

the main problem is you see 190 untill you are 1000 range....

[Krusty]

Yep, Anyone's right.

Also keep an eye on the "name in lights" messages. Just the other day SHawk and his lacky were cherry picking and both landed 7-8 at once (either that or they ran into a crap load of bombers -- and pilots like that  don't "do" bombers)

I saw several folks landing multiple kills in the 152 the past 2-3 days. Heck I was even inspired to do it myself!


Edit: I shouldn't dis SHawk like that but I don't like the way he chooses to fly. Sorry for any offense.

 what we really need is a new drug,say the TA 152 C,ahhh but I don't think it saw combat.... but the "C" would furball with the best..........

How can you compare the ta152 to a A10 Warthog? The A10 can make swiss cheese out of a tank. And the weapons system is nowhere near comparable.


Although the A-10 can carry a considerable weight of disposable stores, its primary built-in weapon is the 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun. One of the most powerful aircraft cannons ever flown, it fires large depleted uranium armor-piercing shells at a rate of about 3,900 rounds per minute (50 rounds per second during the first second, 70 rounds per second thereafter). The massive shells and high muzzle velocity allow the Thunderbolt II to destroy heavily armored main battle tanks with as few as six direct hits. The gun is accurate as well, being capable of placing 80% of its shots within a 20-foot wide circle from a distance of 1 mile while the aircraft is in flight.

The fuselage of the plane is actually built around the gun. For example, the nosewheel is offset to starboard so that the gun's firing barrel is aligned on the aircraft's centerline. The A-10 carries 1,350 rounds of 30 mm ammunition
