Please can you try this for a short while? You can leave the tag but lose the perk value.

yes plz do. if you wanna perk something perk the 190A8. no the ta152. they both they same thing except 190A8 has more firpower becuase of peashooters. ta 152 has only cannons.2 20mm and 1 30mm. 190A8. 2 20mm and 2 20mm or 20mm and 2 30mms now which 1 should be perked?

ta 152 for 8 pts

152 would rule the skies if 1 opposing team airfield base is 250 miles away. At that distance, A2A dogfights would be forced at an altitude of 20-30K feet. The higher you go, you will achieve higher speeds.

I once chased a TA152 up to 30k from the deck with a n1kki.

The TA thought he'd escape easily with the 'uber perk plane.'

I was in the n1kki and dialed '30k please' to the elevator and zoomed teh n1kki to teh helicopt4r m0d3. To my shock the TA just barely made distance, spending a good 10 minutes in my shooting range. I was low on ammo so I couldnt spray him down.

The fight lasted a good while between 15k and 30k and neither being able to make the kill. Finally ending to the TA getting a hair edge over the n1k at the altitude exceeding 30k and getting one lucky ping that took the horizontal stab. Needless to say I was in for a loooooong flopping way down.

It shouldn't be perked.

In fact double the perk value... 152s are the plague of the MA.

Along with those gnat-like 202 and 205s!

Please remember to eat tuna, the fewer dolphines there are the safer our children will be on public busses.

It shouldn't be perked.

Case example of why it shouldn't be perked the fighter should excel at that alt and leave the ufo behind which it doesn't.

ditto

it can be run down by a 190D below 5k (where most fights are), a pony will run it down @ some higher alts, and its wings are more fragile than paper aginst b17's guns @ alt (what it should be good at and used for)

CO JB42 loves it but i just cant find a place for it in the MA.

just a lame thought by yours truly

they are saying in MA it was "rarer" no reason to perk it.

Nomak · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2003, 09:43:19 PM »

I dont fly the 152 all that often but I do like it.

I really dont see any reason for it to be perked.

I say that adding diverisity to the MA is a good thing, and adding some 152s would do just that.

Unperk the 152!

LOL...are you serious?

I found the 152 to handle better than the A8. I think the 152 also does better at higher alts and with fuel.

The 152 also handles at speeds better than the A8 if I'm not mistaken.

Of course I'm drunk and I could be wrong. But I have also found that most times I'm right without a fault while I'm drunk

Have a nice day.

no. drunky i dont agree. the ta152 can turn but....... if you dont burn wing tanks first and you turn to hard you will simply fall off. well im still awaiting a post from lazerus. he is the 190 expert.\

drunky read JB73's post .just proves 190A8 is better in almost everyway.

Ghosth · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2003, 11:21:04 PM »

I agree, if it must be perked pull it down to C-hawg level.

6- 10 perks is all thats needed to keep it from being overused.

Does anyone here know that Kurt Tank was jumped by 4 mustangs at low alt while flying Ta-152?
