HTC and Co: Ta152 and Doras 9-13

[Scot]

HTC and Co.,

   Are there plans to create the later war LW aircraft <time frame?>? With the the presence of the N1K, and the F4U1C, I think it would be appropriate to have the Ta152 and later model Doras. I apologize if this topic has already be discussed.

Thanks!

D-9 is the only feasible one as the Ta152 and D-12/13, are too fast.

If we had the latter; then Westy would get his P-47M, and we just can't let that happen, ever!  

Even worse; someone might start asking for the P-51H!!  

[Hristo]

Not to mention some lunatics actually asking for 262s  

[leonid]

All I know is if this uberplane stuff continues, then I'm going to be demanding the all-metal version of the Yak-3, which was the fastest prop aircraft in history at something like 463mph.

Yes -o- Yes

The list can go on forever, but as long as this is a "Wish List".

There is a certain "Griffon" powered 5-bladed propeller, climbing beast that Spits fire I would consider cool!  Spitfire Mk XIV anyone?

Sorry Leonid. The P47 M beat that.  

Bring em *all* out!

I wish for a full and fruitful plane set!! For all!

Acceleration might just be more important than speed, Jug drivers  

[Rebel]

Show me ANYTHING that can accelerate faster then an unloaded Jug with WEP.  I dare ya

Will my Martin Baker MB5 have the Protoype P on it? I would prefer that it be in 401 squadron colours...
With 6 20s please...
And what about that Ausi P51 thingy...

In level acceleration, I think we both know the thruth  

As for dives, I’d bet on 262 and Pfeil.

[funked]

I think Rebel meant acceleration in a dive!

Leonid I think a Yak-3U would be plenty exciting.

Or how about an La-9?

Other than D-9 the production numbers on Fw 190D and Ta 152 were pretty slim.  

I don't feel planes should be left out of the planeset based on whether they made it to the front lines or not, but I do think that the planes that fought in large numbers should be done first.

So I would do D-9, Me 262, P-47M and F4U-4 before getting to Ta 152, F8F, Do 335, etc.

TA-152 and Dora?? Who wants a plane that anyone, even a rookie, can look good in?  Let's get with a plane only REAL MEN can fly, P61 Black Widow!

Too fast? gee, isn't P-51 already too fast?

If you didn't realise, germans must be faster, because they can't possibly go into T&B with spit.. lol

[leonid]

Ahh, but Westy, here's the interesting part.  The plane I'm referring to is the Yak-3/VK-108.  The max speed of the P-47M was 470mph @ 30k.  The max speed of the Yak-3/108 was 463mph @ 20k.  Hence, at 20k, or lower, I bet the Yak-3 was faster.  Also, the Yak-3 had a max power loading of 3.54lb./hp, and could climb to 16,404ft. in 3.5 minutes (avg. climb rate: 4,687ft./min.).  Finally, it had two 20mm cannons in the nose.  Oh, but it wasn't all metal.

One should think that even the P-47M was outclassed by this little aerial velociraptor

Agreed Leonid  

If you want a true all around Uberfighter, the Yak3/108 was definitely it.

It could turn like a Spit, and outrun the Pony's/Dora's.

Truely frightening.
