How good was Ta152H

[wuzak]

incidentally III./JG 301 had 35 Ta's on hand in January 45, primarily for testing these new mounts, several going over to the Geschwaderstab. Reschke is incorrect about a 3 stage supercharger, it was two // there was at least 1 C varinat in the stab as well possibly 2 on hand to fly operations against the Soviets.

2 stage, 3 speed?

Yet none other than Adolph Galland, who SHOULD have known, said there were never more than about 25 operational at any one time, and the Ta 152 made it's main victories in April 45, unless I misremember. If so, I'm sure I'll hear it.

I find it tough to believe a the Ta 152 ever got a real shot at showing it's potential, or even ever got a really thorough combat test. There were just too many Allied aircraft around in early 1945 for it to be used as designed and intended. It was pushed into last-ditch defense roles.

It's plane aircraft I'd love to see really detailed planes for.

Cheers.
