A very interesting fighter
« on: June 25, 2010, 10:26:29 AM »
one of the less know WWII Italian fighters and one of fastest. I think this machine should be include in AH roster.
The only serious disadvantage it could not exceed 800 km/h in a dive. Other than that an excellent fighter.

How effective were they with only 48 being built?  :rofl
Another source says only 37 were built.

Flown this plane in another sim, it is very good from what that sim modeled it as. Would be a contender in the LW definitely (again, if that sim had it right)
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

800kmh in a dive isn't at all sloppy!

It is a good aircraft, yes, but does it have the numbers to be considered? Mechanic's post about it being in another sim makes me wonder..... Hell, I don't see why not, the Italians need some fighters    :banana:

What does effectiveness have to do with the numbers built? Finnish Brewsters were built in similar numbers, and proved to be quite effective in finnish service.
The low production numbers are simply due to the fact that for Italy the war ended before more could be rolled out.

And, how many Ta 152Hs were built? Iirc, there is only 43 known WNr of completed Ta 152H-0s and Ta 152H-1s.

How effective were the Ta 152Hs?

Okay, I got the point a while ago. I didn't think before posting. I get it now. Thanks.

Isn't there one of the 110's even rarer than the 152's?
In that the engines modelled may have been ultra rare?
Just seem to recall a thread many moons ago on them.

I brought up production numbers because there was a thread somewhere about a bunch of different fighters, some of which were produced in like the low hundreds and people complained they didn't have any flying time to prove themselves. I dunno. I'd like to add the fighter, we could always use another Italian plane. I had to think about it though, doing a lot of work lately. Late nights aren't an excuse for being stupid. :D

Also, how many 47M's were produced? Not many IIRC
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Difference being that the P-47M required no 3D model changes.  The Ta152H could be largely based on the Fw190D-9 model.  The Re2005 would require its own unique model.  Also, does the performance data exist?

All of that is up to HTC.

Hm. It's like the D-9 of the C.2 family.
