Many would say that in term of pure performance P-47 was the best piston fighter that were created during WW II period, P-47M was the fastest plane in level flight at high altitude and also in a dive (even normal P-47 is faster than super prop like P-51H)

Ta-152H is another fighter that is well known for its performace at high altitude. The high aspect ratio wing allegedly give it good turn rate at high altitude with the trade off is that it is slow in a dive and can't roll fast. On the otherhand, the armament it carry can probably 1 shot anything on the air.

So between the two, which is the better fighter?. And why?
 
I would give the edge to the P-47N

The P-47Ns that reached the Pacific used the 2,800-horsepower, 18-cylinder radial Pratt & Whitney R-2800-77 Double Wasp engine driving a larger CH-5 turbo supercharger and 13-foot diameter Curtiss Electric propeller with narrow style paddle blades.

So as I understand it, P-47 has better power to weight ratio than Ta-152 right?, could it be because P-47 has access to better fuel than the german one?
 
I found these chart from greg video, unfortunately no P-47M or Ta-152H to compare
