Any plans on modelling the Ta152?
I know it didn't see much action during the war but it was the way Kurt Tank wanted the 190 too look from the beginning so it really is a MUST HAVE in Aces High, it's the ultimate 190 and the Ultimate plane.

Soooo, any plans on it in the near future?

Hmm might be a bit too uber for the alied wussies   I can imagine they are already getting their panties all bunched up just thinking about it   A possible perk plane?

[juzz]

Better perk it, 332mph@s/l is too fast by far.

Yeah Juzz, especially when people find out that the production models that flew in the War didn't have the MW50/GM1 boost systems, that give it such impressive performance numbers that most people quote.

Even with the boost systems, its going to be a disappointing plane for most people in the type of combat it would see in our Arena.

Just to let you know Wilbus, there was a grand total of 48 Ta-152's (46 152H0's and 2 152C's). And most of them were straffed on the ground before they saw combat.

Personally I would rather see a 190D9.

I want *sob* another 109

But since the G10 is the k in disguise no luck for me.

So I will settle for fixing the "prop drag" issues with the G10 ;D

Idea 1. Rename current Me 109G-10 to Me 109K-4. Remodel Me 109G-10 with a less powerful engine in it. It would fill the big G-6 -> K-4 performance gap.

Idea 2. Rename Me 109G-6 as Me 109G-14, but with a DB605AS or DB605AM engine. Remodel Me 109G-6 as an earlier version without big tail and erla haube.

Idea 3. Force all 109 pilots to fly the new Dora. Bf 109D-1 that is. Powerful DB600A engine, 2 MG 17 and engine mounted MG FF with 160 rounds! What more could you desire?

If you wanted a K-4 you'd have to add some more mph.

Why do that when the G-6 was the most manufactured G variant?

Something with better guns... MG FF and MG 17 are crap...

btw juzz, do you even play AH?

[Wilbus]

Too fast? What if they add the 262? (I don't really want that 262 though)
And yes, I do know that there were only a few of the TA152's that ever saw action but they DID see action and that's a good enough reason to add it, atleast I think so.

Nath, that 3rd ide was a troll  

and a good one BTW  

juzz I like your second idea...AFAIK G14 was a G6 with MW50, I dont remember more details about it.

Can someone bring some numbers on its performance?  

[funked]

Sorry Nath, our G-10 is as fast as a K-4 unless I'm reading the charts wrong.

Am I the ONLY one who finds only minor differences between the G-10 and G-6?

They both fly the same to me  

Sure the G-10 is faster, but the G-6 is sooo much more stable during low speed manuvers  

I like my G6's pretty paint job

Someone post a pic of TA152 please.
Thanks!

It's very similar to the Focke Wulf 190 D9, the long nosed 190.
The Ta152 is the way that Kurt Tank wanted the Fw190 to look like when he first designed it.

Tell me how to get a picture in here and I'll
post it, unless someone can get oicture of it in here.

Second one was captured, hence the allied markings
