get replace the ta 152

[Kweassa]

Let's just put it this way - "Every single plane in Aces High fits the above criteria." There are quite many, relatively 'rare' planes such as the Me163, Ta152, F4U-1C, C.205s, N1K2-Js, and etc etc.. but all of these are as said, production aircraft that saw official service.

 If the requirements were any different, AH might have been a lot more similar to IL-2 in plane selection.. frickin' Gothas and Huckebeins... what in the world was Oleg thinking?

 (On the other hand the latest IL-2 series, IL-2/46, does tend to bring out the nostalgia in all of us. Ah, the good ol' days of SWOTL...)

hey,why get rid of the Ta-152,i personally think its a cool plane.i fly it (even thou im a horrible fighter pilot) it seems to kill bombers pretty easily..the bad thing is that it seems to want to glide too much so its a pain for me to land

Nah - now the Boston, there is a totally useless aircraft for ya.

It really is a good plane Benny.   Just don't yank hard on the stick around 425.   Get to know it's "limitations".     It will soon be a fun ride.   The gun package is the best of the entire planeset IMO.  

True account:   I was winging with OddCAF and Pamarrin when I was in CAF.   We rolled a Ta with 50%, and headed to a field.    Down low, I saw 2 La7's and told them to go easy on the throttle.    Odd being the kamikaze that he is, ripped his wings off in a dive .    Then Patch got mired in a 2 on 1.    I dove on the La7 which was on Patch's 6 and dispatched it.   I told Patch to "get out of here, and grab some cheap alt while he had some E."    He did, what happened next was witnessed by both, but Odd from a chute in the water.    I was turnfighting and La7 at 50ft.    I followed it around 360 degrees and said to myself "I shouldn't be doing this, I'm asking for it."    I turned with him a 2nd time, and gained a shot as he "loosened up his turn".   I pinged him, but not good enough.   He ran to his base.    Odd and I will still talk about that fight, because it was so surreal.

Not at all... I was dueling LEADPIG's P-38G with a Boston and it held its own just fine. I might even have film of it as it was just a few weeks ago.

I've killed a pair of 109Fs with the Boston dogfighting in the EW arena. It turns well enough that if you don't take it seriously, it'll kill you.

It's one of my favorite dueling rides. Schatzi and I have dueled in Bostons for hours. Great fun. Airsys and I dueled Ju 88 vs Boston... The Boston owns the Ju 88 tho...

There's no useless aircraft, just unexplored opportunities.

My regards,

On top of that, the Boston can "move" quick once up to speed.

Hahaha oh man this thread was doomed to be a slaughter
I think Johny got the point now guys, wow this is a massacre

EDIT: I didn't see we were already off-topic, I was referring to the replies of Johny's comment

I think that he was suggesting that 152 is quite good at tearing up ground targets.

My squad and I use 152s to clear the way for CVs.

Two 152s and ord is gone in less than 30 seconds, then we can prowl for bombers etc

152 is great and desperately needs a 'make-over'.

As someone said before somewhere here, 'It doesn't match my new purse'.

Don't believe this, I'm now "full of it" as some have said in "so many words" in other threads.   They've been here longer, so it must be true!

Problem with the Boston is it seems to have a damage model bug.  You ping it once from slightly under and from 6 o clock and it 1 ping disappears.

I got something like 16 of them in the same sortie, in the MW arena, in the 190A-5 a few months back by doing that.

I have tangled with spits in a boston and won

[blackdog68]

Got my first Ta-152 kill and thought of this thread.  He tried to go vert with my La-5.  Unfortunately for him, I had more E.

Hey hey hey!! Look at that..

Odd and I will still talk about that fight, because it was so surreal.

If you see XtrmeJ, ask him about flat turn tactics in his Spit versus my 152

I should have filmed it... Last night I flew a series of duels flying the Boston III against pilots with lots of experience, some of whom would be instantly recognized if you saw their name. They were flying the Hurri IIC, Ki-84, P-38J, F4U-1 and P-38G.

Net result... The Boston is evil. Much, much more capable than most people would expect.

i did this to 3 F4us (2x1d and 1x 4)last night..... just constant high loops..... all of them stalling out.... yet they kept doing it and spraying out from 800...was kinda funny.
