Because it took this long for the average aces high pilot to realize it's overmodeled in some parts of it's flight envelope.

(12) Ta152's of JG 11 take on over (40) 51's, 47's and an equal number of B-17's in this - the first of the old Main Arena MoM missions.

Only time you will ever see those numbers in a furball is in a BoB FSO unless something drastic happens.

Ja...these missions were a regular occurrence a few years back.  Here's to hoping we see this type of action again in the future...

Junky,

Were you in theater or stateside playing when JUGgler, Grizz and Kappa set up the MA horde fight exactly like you just described?  We all decided what bases away from the fights to start from.  The one I remember was Top Gun vs AOM but there were additional guys on each side.  I wanna say I remember you and Squat1 both being there...I think you guys flew with us.

They are more popular because every plane seems to go through a period of popularity. A few months back, I remember seeing P-47s everywhere of all versions. A few times it was mistaken as a 47 raid but most were only M models.

The first flight was K4 vs 51's, the second flight was 152's vs 47Ms and the third was A5's vs LA5's with group merge alts at 20K, lmao.  By the last one, we had another 20 per side in the fight so I think at one point Kappa counted 39 guys in our group heading to one spot on the map.  It was the most fun I'd ever had in the game in the MA.

Ta-152H has been unperked since about 4th quarter 2006

By the way, a very high share of it's kills are bombers: 46%, while the late war fighters generally average at about 25%. Only the Me 163, Me 262 and Me 410 have an even higher percentage.

Is there a way to tell its k/d for each tour? (Or year)

I think the TA changed, it's much faster on deck than before.

It still has the same top speed on deck as 9 years ago when I joined AH.

Perhaps it accelerates faster then.
