The airspeed referenced was taken from a German document provide by a knowledgeable source of Fw aircraft and is possibly a copy of an Fw document. It does not call out aircraft number so it may be an engineering estimate. It certainly reflects GM1 used at 11.5 km alt. and probably does include MW50, although I don't read German. It provides no data on climb.

I am seeing alot of perceptions here, reports recently found says otherwise about MW 50 as an example, and it has already been displayed on what the MW 50 could achieve in test results before the full compliment of 35 Tanks in III./JG 301
you all will have to wait as things will be revealed about the A/C and pilots and operations. as we do not know about the handling nor opponent opposition in flight combat experience with the P-51D and K it is best to leave this be.
Mr Erich
Who is the pilot that did not tell the truth?
Could you report the books that you have written about Luftwaffe and who publish them? Must be very interesting as you appear to have acces directly to survivors of the period.
I hope you're not referring to Erich - as a newbe I suggest you read the thread for newcomers and understand we do not tolerate anyone insulting moderators. This will be you one and only warning.Agreed.
The poster in question is what I refer to as a member of the tinfoil hat brigade.
There's no way to reliably know how many allied a/c were shot down by advanced FW's. The TA was allegedly a fine a/c but there's some evidence of reliability problems.
He said to much here and in another foolish non researched post, he is history.
Well, I looked. For some reason I cannot "search" worth a darn. The member I got this from, Soren, has been banned and chart I remembered as being posted, has been deleted. I am sure others have the chart and may share. I am just a bit queasy about doing it.
I agree with this. No fighter aircraft operational during the spring of 1945 can touch the Me-262 as an interceptor. That includes the Meteor F3.The Ta-152 is indeed formidable but I don't think it had the overall performance to come anywhere near the threat as the Me-262 did to the bombers.
just to give you a figure: 35 TA 152H's were given to III./JG 301 at January 1945's end from this I am still not certain how many stayed in III. gruppe and in the Stab./JG 301.
On Jan 27 1945 pilots of III./JG301 traveled to Cottbus and picked up 11 Ta152H-0s. On Jan 16 1945 American fighters attacked Neuhausen and destroyed 14 Ta152s on the ground. There was ~12 Ta152s assigned to Rechlin. In addition, 2 more Ta152Hs were sent to Sorau for conversion to Ta152Cs. That accounts for approximately 4/5 of the Ta152Hs built.
III./JG301 never got close to the authorized number of 35 Ta152H a/c.
