As far as I can see you're the only person using the word "monster". He said it was "effective", and it is effective at any altitude. Down low it is not as effective as the Tempest or 190 Dora in this scenario, but it is close enough to make it interesting. The P-51D only has a couple of mph on the 152 on the deck, so they are really close, also in climb performance.

In this scenario I rank the fighters:

Tier 1
Tempest
190D

Tier 2
109K
P-51D
Ta-152

Tier 3
Everything else.

If any one ride really stands out as dominant down low it is the Tempest.
AND I was responding to a comment about Moot's abilities in the 152 - not mine.  I guess since Junky is the self proclaimed authority, I will defer to his prowess.

Oh you were just jabbing at me and don't actually know a thing about the 152...the reason moot did well in it was because he was a good stick, not because of the plane.

Yep.  Unless the flight model has changed... anyone suggesting the 152 isn't effective at lower alts simply does not know how to fly it.
Read your quote and tell me I'm wrong for thinking that...

Don't despair.  Maybe someday you will be as good as Moot in it.

I have flown it. The last couple of days and find it to be a nice  plane to fly. Very pilot friendly.

She's a beauty isn't she :). I love it. All of its quirks. The rudder on her can make some shots haha.

pilot friendly? Ehhh I'm not sure lol. I find it almost too easy to send it into a death spin.  Reminds me of iL-2 BoS.

I have yet to find this spin. I have flown it at 10k and on the deck. I have flown it fast and slow. I've turned it low and slow enough for it to waggle a bit. Seemed easy enough to control.

Come off the throttle and use a little rudder when intitiating a roll. You'll see

LOL I stalled it vertical last night and floated like a leaf to the ground.

Realized my pedals were disconnected too late.

Haven't flown the 152 since AH2, but... Recovering from the flat-spin was done by shutting down the engine, extend landing gear, opposite rudder and push the stick all the way forward. Once the nose comes down restart engine, retract gear, full power and pull out of the dive.

Never thought about lowering gear.

I lowered gear but needed my rudder and it was not connected to my pedals.

This is why you should do a check when you log in .... every time. :D

It is rare for my CH gear to disco... but on rare occasion boom.


BTW I filled the other slot for a TA.  :aok
