TA-152?

[ACE]

I run 50% and a DT most places.

[Lusche]

Usually 50%+DT when going for lower altitudes and expecting to encounter (and fight) enemy fighters; and 100% with or without DT when hunting high altitude bombers.

[Wiley]

I usually just go with 100%, rarely use DT.  The nice thing about the 152 is there's no speed penalty after drop for taking a tank.

I have too heavy a hand for this plane.  It seems to wallow about unless going fast as hell...  Great fun if you have above a bomber set though.  That's about the only time I'll use it.

Almost impossible to aim/fly if you lose rudder. 

[JunkyII]

No!  Rudder is this planes death!  I use the piss out of it. But once in the wrong situation you’ll tumble down.

I'll have to find the thread on the TA152 but like 5 people who never fly the TA but fancy themself a good stick were like "This plane needs a lot of rudder input to avoid the stall"....SMH

I hate the 152.
They are flown even more timid than the 190D, which is pretty much makes it king wuss (except the 262). I usually dont bother to try and shoot them down, unless I have a massive E advantage and can corner them. Then it is nice to see them stirr the stick and go down in a cloud of debris and panic.

[Lusche]

I can only speak for myself but...

Taking the Ta-152 usually means I'm hunting bombers. That's my mission and trying to dance with fighters only lessens my chance to stop the bombers. I might try for a quick bounce (especially at Jabos), but I tend to avoid anything that might drag me lower.

Stay high. Stay fast. Thats it.

That’s boring! Stay medium and use your speed and climb rate to create nice angles.

Absolutely do not put a drop tank on it. The carriage rack adds weight and drag to the aircraft. And honestly 75% fuel gets you 42 min of fuel. No need for drop tanks with current MA.

Also don’t be afraid to use rudder. Just don’t do it under 230 TAS with airleron. IF you do, I hope you are sharp with the throttle. That’s your only chance of not spinning that sloot to the death.

On paper a dominant aircraft. Isaac Newton's plane choice if he'd have lived long enough to play AH

 There is no speed penalty for using a drop tank after you dropped it. The Ta 152H had a permanent special 'low drag' rack, and this is modeled in game. I remember posting the bug report, after which they fixed it.

So you guys run 100% fuel, then drain? drain with drop tank? Orr

I think this page explains the 152 oddities very well, just stick to the recommandations.

There's some good reading on that page.  Much information to be obtained there.
Now actually getting that information from my brain and making it work in the game, well that's a bit tricky..

Just put some hours into it. It’s a tricky plane, but you will learn what you can and can’t do really quick.
