I'm putting this here because it doesn't warrant a thread of its own.. Interesting bit of info though.
Quote
Additionally, it says the subcontracted manufacturer of the MW50 tank was overrun by allied forces and that the use of the inner wing tanks (some 30 liters each) for MW50 was a substitute to the original 140 liter tank configuration, suggesting that it was not because of CG issues but rather component availability issues.
Food for thought.... From one of Malcom V. Lowe's publications from 2008.  It doesn't specify if this is for all or only select models of the 152.

It looks like I remembered, except for that sharp dip at 11.5km.

Afaik the C model never had any CG issues. However it may be relevant if you have previously regarded that alteration to the H model a 'fix' of CG issues. That would be wrong to assume so.

The Ta152H-0 carried no 'boost juices'. The Ta152H-1 did. The Ta152C-1 carried MW50. The H-0 carried a rear fuselage fuel tank.

I don't know where this inner wing tanks comes from but the H-1 had one 70l. MW50 tank in the left wing.

Yep.. That's how I remember it, hence it being an interesting bit of info.  One thing I didn't know is that the C had more internal fuel than the H.

Yeah, the above quote is related to the 152C model and has little, if anything, to do with the H model afaik. I've not read the whole book yet but what's written above is related to the C model.
