Ta-152c

[MOH_Hirth]

I have a question, is TA152 was more fast than FW D9, FW A9 and Mustang MK-III? More than 500km/h in fly stable at 6000? More than 350 at 10000? It Was the last FW, with 2100hp engine, were can i find data about?

IN GAME velocity 4.09bm:

I did a litle test:
TA-152C,at 6000m, stable fly, no dive, no climb, with MW50, 50%fuel, rad open, full aceleration:

FW A9 480km/h ?
Mustang MK-III 490
109K C3 485
P47D 485

Ta152-C 475

Oleg only you can save this poor plane, at least +10km/h, my last ask, be shure!

can i just check. what is the fastest aircraft at low level in this game? the tempest? surely on paper it should be?

1. Mustang MK.III
2. FW190-D9 (Late)
3. Tempest MK.V

P.S., this is exluding all jets, rocket assisted and rare models.

Given the Ta-152C's powerband it should be faster than most prop fighters only at medium and higher altitudes. Despite its billing as a "low altitude" fighter...the term is used relatively...so really its a medium fighter and the 152H is a high fighter.

Numbers I get with 4.08 TA152C, Crimea, 50% Fuel, Rad Auto, MW50 110%, Default arm

Max Tas altitude 9000M
420Kmh IAS / 704Kmh TAS
440Kmh IAS / 735Kmh TAS (Rad closed)

6000m
470Kmh IAS / 670Kmh TAS

Sea Level
560Kmh IAS / 580Kmh TAS

the only real world numbers I could find for the TA152C-1with DB603LA engine are:

Sea level 560Kmh TAS

10,4000m 730Kmh TAS

12,300m 663Kmh TAS

Climb to 8000m 10minutes 12 seconds

* These values supposedly from Documents titled: "Weights and performance statistics recorded by Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmBh January 1945" and tabulated in monogram Close up No 24 TA152"

They never bothered to give the Ta-152C it's historical wing, so is modeled with the smaller FW-190A wing, robing it of 1.3 square meters wing area.
This means the aircraft will be faster at low altitude, slower at higher altitude and worse in turn and climb.

This explains why the Ta-152C is flying the way it is in game. That's why is such a dog up high and every time you pull on that stick.
Remember the "too much speed" at low altitude when it came out? I don't think they bothered finding the reasom behind it.

The Tempest should be the fastest aircraft by far at low altitude, but the game does not model the +11 and +13 boost models, only the lesser produced early model.

As far as the TA-152C is concerned, only a TINY number flew, (compared to the thousands of Tempests) so any complaints about it should be taken with a LARGE grain of salt.

i agree that tempest should be fastest. i've been trying to outrun D9s at low altitude in spits v 109s thinking the tempest would be able to get away. won't do that again
