get replace the ta 152

[Krusty]

Morfiend, the 152C-0 saw action alongside the 152Hs, but only 2 of them. They were not a production model, and one of the requirements is "must be a production variant, no prototypes etc"

[morfiend]

have pix of ta squad,didnt see a C in the line up. Still would be nice to be able to up that monster:aok .... BTW thx for that imfo Krusty..........

  any sources I can read would be great.....

[kreighund]

Well with those requirements......

The F8F-1's were aboard the Bunker Hill in route to take part but the war ended before they could be blooded..............

and

there were six P-80A's in northern italy to try to take on the Me-262 but serviceability and they state of the air war over southern germany prevented any encounters


F7F-1 was also in production


well that should have wacked the hornet's nest!!!!!!!!!!

 Not really.

 Another requirment is to be an actual combat aircraft - meaning that the plane, as a standard production model, served regular missions on normal squadron strength service and saw actual combat.

 The production numbers may be small, but the Ta152 and Me163 were all standard production aircraft that were placed in squadron strenght service that saw actual combat against Allied planes quite often. On the other hand, the P-80s were plagued with problems and served only a few patrol missions, the Bearcat was onlu en-route to the warzone when the war itself ended, and the Tigercat was in production only.

 Therefore, according to HTC's (unofficial) policy on aircraft requirements, the Ta152 and Me163 qualifies. The Bearcat, Tigercat, and the P-80s does not. The British Gloster Meteors qualifies, as does the He162 Volksjaeger, but the Soviet Bi-1 does not, and etc...

So why does the Spitfire XVI not fly with its max boost in Aces High?

and why do the 190s flaps not deploy above 180?

[Ball]

Why is the Spitfire's view movement so limited compared to other aircraft?

[DblTrubl]

Because HTC hates you.

I dont fly spit, but hes he does hate me.

Pyro doesnt though.  He wants to rescue me.

That's a bit of a stretch for the Ta-152.  Only perhaps twenty ever saw combat, and not often.  No more than sixty did, for sure.

im not trying to be a hater, but the ta 152 has to go. no one uses it. its made for high flying combat and no one goes over 35,000 ft just to have a dog fight or to bomb. (maybe sametimes they go that high) replace it with a diffrent aircraft like the P-80, or the He-111.

Tell you what, let's meet in the DA, you pick WHATEVER plane you want.    I'll fly the Ta and "show you how crappy this Cartoon Ta-152 H-1" is.

[Stang]

Moot and Tarmac used to pawn winging 152's.

 It's true the production numbers were small. But they were; 1) regular production aircraft and not testbed/prototype/preproduction planes, 2) allocated for service in Stab./JG301, and 3) saw combat action for four months, until  late April 1945, and has a pilot which reached the 'ace' status in the plane.

 Qualifies in every category.

Really?  I didn't think they fought more than a couple of times.  Maybe I should enable it in my planesets.
