plan_D said:Personally, I'd rather be in -190D-9. Unless we can go into 'What-ifs' and I'm assuming we can't but I'll say this anyway. Perfect prop-driven attacked on bomber formations with Fw-190A-8/R8s attacking the bombers and Ta-152s holding high escort...sheer poetry, maybe.
Erich said:The Tank would of easily made the bounce if in sufficient numbers. The STurmFW's would of been done away with and the Newer lines of 262's would of been available.
all in all a large what if. Just like the Ta 152 uber thread.........B-29's what crock. Suggest you chaps pick up the books and I mean all of them that I listed oln the JG 301 unit and the Ta 152.
plan_D said:P-51H and P-47M in escort, the Ta-152 could have dealt with them.
plan_D said:Since when could Germany not produce Me-262s? Is it me, or did they actually produce -262s that claimed a lot of bombers...
plan_D said:I've seen 426 for JG-7 alone. Even if it was 253, it's still impressive. As most of the -262s were not shot down in the air.
And, as we're going on to what-ifs with the Ta-152 and P-51H...there'd be more Ta-152s, than there was in real life...see, it's a what-if like..if the war carried on.
Erich said:The Me 262 was going through redesgning in May of 45 so if and a big what if the table had not turned agasint the Luftwaffe the 262's would of come out in much larger numbers and aided by TA 152's as high cover.
plan_D said:Although had the war carried on Ta-183 would probably rule the skies but that would take another 2 years by my estimate.
plan_D said:You do realise the F-86 came about as it did mostly because of the Ta-183, don't you? And the MiG-15 came about because of the Ta-183, as well. It was Korean war technology on a World War 2 German design table.
plan_D said:The swept wing came from the Me-262? No, the swept wing came from the tests and records from the German RLM. They didn't just get the Me-262 and go "Oh, it's got swept wings. We'll use that idea" The Ta-183 also came from those tests, so the F-86s swept wings came from the SAME tests as the Ta-183s.
