TA-152 was still in testing phase...

[Megalodon]

"Do research".... On the 152. 

 I'm sorry my library only has 8-11 book on it. plus a handbook or 2 

[Arlo]

German moon-base. I can't prove there never was one.  

[moot]

Ok back to ignore list.

[Megalodon]

Ta 152C-0, was a pre-production airframe that had a prototype engine that was being evaluated for use on other variants as shown by the listings for V6 through V8.  Again, does not prove your claim the Ta 152 we have in game was a prototype.

ack-ack

Again I never said it was

Okay show them to me... what you cant?

WTG btw   the C models were prototypes  ........ that wasnt that hard  

[Megalodon]

German moon-base. I can't prove there never was one.  

 just like you cant prove the 335 never had a combat flight? 

[Arlo]

just like you cant prove the 335 never had a combat flight?  

My point was wasted on you. 

I'm not your Moot replacement. I don't find what you're posting anymore interesting than he did(n't).  

[Megalodon]

Ok back to ignore list.

 Like I said show me some proof .. your just blowing hard dood.


 The Great Kurt Tank Remembrance plane that we just have to have..... Just because he was so cool...man!

Your point is on your head I dont find most of the stuff you post interesting 

[Megalodon]

Excerpt's from my book +4 publications Ta-152 for your educational pleasure

You realize that the only reason the Ta152 is in the game is because it reuses extensive chunks of the Fw190 art, right?

It isn't like they had the choice to add the Ta152 or the Beaufighter and chose the Ta152.

Your arguments consistently ignore reality.  I'm not talking about WWII reality, though you are selective there, I am talking about game production reality.

You do realize it was made from the A3 airframe don't you?


 

 From that line of thinking it won't be hard to add the A Mustangs then ... right?  All of which were produced in higher numbers than the Ta-152, and shirley would have more impact in the game and flown in squadron strength. Even if we split the 150 P-51<MKIA> into USA and Brit versions,60 and 90 respectively, there were still way more flown in squadron form.

 

Edit: "Game production reality"  did you just create that title?   ........ Who's reality is that? Yours?

I have no issues with the TA-152 being in the game, but it is a plane that was basically insignificant in the actual war.  There are several other planes that were built in much larger quantities of hundreds or even thousands that were also insignificant in the actual war, such as the P-63, F7F, F8F, Meteor, and even the M26.  If the TA-152 can be in the game, then alot of other planes should eventually also be in the game.

I agree it is a low production number but not as low as you are claiming.

C-0's were produced by the Mimetall-Erfurt factory.

Early in January 1945 20 of 24 152s that were parked at the Cottbus-Neuhausen field were destroyed on the ground by the 8th air force.

Later in the month III./JG-301 received 24-26 152s at Alteno which many were lost in the conversion training.

Bustr is correct though there were not many kills achieved by the 152. But they flew more than one mission. At least 2 as a group with pilots like Keil going up in pairs more often.

Please show me the C-0's in service you speak of...


Correct!


You are wrong about this... the pilots were ferried by wood fired burning trucks to pick up the planes and fly them back to Alteno .. 11 made the trip.



The kills were 13

IIRC that is the way HT sees it.
