I disagree. It's over-all performance/ability is top-tier.
Bollocks. At typical MA alts its a poor turner, poor climber, only competitive in speed for the 5 minutes its WEP lasts. Jug has its good points, but the Pony and Dora are both easier to land kills with in the MA. Come to think of it, the Ta-152 has fantastic firepower, excellent range, climbs and accelerates better than the P-47N, is pretty fast on WEP that lasts 10 minutes and replenishes quickly.
And here is the Ninja-secret of the Ta-152: Its turn radius is poor, between the A-5 and the D9. But the efficiency of its glider-like wings allow it to sustain a very good turn *rate*.
Pony, Dora, JugN, Ta-152, 109K, F4U-1A/D...make 'em all 10 ENY and have done I say.
