Great info.....I guess. Would look even better in the correct forum.

Also,
From the same book on the Ta-152 series, the following figures were given for a Ta-152H-0, which is lighter than a Ta-152H-1. It doesn't clarify, but I am assuming the lower speed is without boost and the higher speed is with boost. Also, these speeds would 'obviously' be higher for the H-0 than the H-1 due to the
H-0's lower weight;

Alt (M) Speed (KPH)
2100 390-430
2400 450-470
2700 490-510
3100 550

I would trust that data as a reference more so than the Ta-152A data, as the Ta-152A had the short wing.

My Main concern with Ah's Ta152 is that from the get go the auxiliary non Self Ceiling wing tanks are filled with fuel.

I posted a thread a while back with the recommended fuel loadouts the ta152H-1 would have used in the Winter of '45,which would be similarly loade in the same fashion the P51's aux tank is filled this might give the TA152 some help in the performance department without tweaking the model itself,by re arranging the way the fuel is set up in this plane and it might aliviate some of the problems in ragards to wing weakness.

Roger Letwolf, however, they didn't brake off all that soon, but you may very well be right. There were some TA152's that were very at the deck though (Ta152H's NOT one of those).

Sundog, the Ta152H-0 didn't use any MW 50 or GM1 boost at all thus the speed down low of a TA152H-1 will be higher since the H1 used both MW50 and GM1.

The TA152H-0 used a Jumo 213E engine which wasn't ready for these kind of boost systems, The TA152H-1 used a Jumo 213E-1 which was fully ready for these boost systems.
Also, max speed in level flight doesn't quite change with weight, can test it with different fuel loadout, acceleration however in level flight is changed, the heavier it is the more power is needed to pull it. The H1 was quite much heavier but most of the new weight was the fuel.

Thanks Wilbus, all good points. I like flying the current Ta-152H-1 anyway, as many underestimate what it can do

Not to mention it just looks good!

Rgr Sundog, love the plane aswell

But want it right
