Vibora, there should be 3rd option,like in AH - running to nearest friendly field, very usefull if it wouldn't be far
I do that in practice runs offline alot........take a plane and try to take off from an enemy field........Ive only done it in the a6m, i15, i16, and the spitfire...plus a few buffs "how do they avoid ack better than 109?" but its good fun
My wishlist: Fokker D-XXI (Dutchmen and Finnish folks would be VERRRRRY happy with this one!) Fokker G-I JachtKruiser Koolhoven Fk-52 IAR-80/81 Boulton Paul Defiant Henschel Hs123 Henschel Hs129 Boeing B-29 Kawasaki Ki-45 FW TA152H.... If it would any different from the FW190D-9, that is. I've heard stories about the TA152 being just another designation for the Dora-series
The Ta 152 series can be seen as further developments of the Fw 190D high altitude fighter with structural and aerodynamic enhancements and new power plants. The designation change from Fw to Ta was to honour Kurt Tank who had designed the extremely successful Fw 190 series. Two versions were derived from modified Fw 190D-9 airframes. These were the Ta 152B escort fighter and the Ta 152H high-altitude fighter with a pressurised cockpit. A third version, the Ta 152C, was a complete redesign. The Ta 152E-1 was a photo-reconnaisance aircraft and the E-2 a high altitude variant. The Ta 152S-1 was a proposed tandem two-seat trainer. Of these variants only the Ta 152H were delivered to the Luftwaffe Maximum speed: 332 mph at sea level, 350 mph with MW50 boost 465 mph at 29530 ft with MW50 boost 472 mph at 41010 ft with GM1 boost Service ceiling: 48560 ft Climb rate: 3445 ft/min Normal range: 745 miles
Uh, unless Im mistaken, which is entirely possible, wasnt the ta152, asside from other things, a 190 with much larger wing and tail surfaces? Larger wings and all that jazz. I dont now, becaise if the ta152 was derived of the dora, then Im especially clueless as I only really care for 190a series planes....
It had a totally different engine. Elongated nose and fuselage, shape of the wing was a little bit modified. Different armament, too.
It was to the fw190 like the Spiteful was to the Spitfire. In Aces High it is so gnarly, it is a perk plane.
Golds need this under Betty: Available only from big fields after jan 1945. The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka ("Baka") http://users.belgacom.net/aircraft2/avion2/428.html
FW190D-9 Wingspan 10.5 m, length 10.2 m Engine: Junkers Jumo 213A-1, 1,776 hp. Armament: 2 X MG131, 2 X MG151E/20. TA152H Wingspan 14.5 m, length 10.8 m Engine: Junkers Jumo 213E-1, 1,776 hp. Armament: 1 X MK108, 2 X MG151E/20. The engine was pretty much the same, Afi. Just another mark of the JuMo 213, which enabled the fitting of an MK108 between the cylinder-heads and allowed GM-1 (Nitrous-oxide) injection. The A-1 only had water/methanol injection, the E-1 had both. Also, the nose wasn't changed (I think).... They elongated the rear fuselage and enlarged the rudder and stabilo to balance the new (redesigned and larger) wings.
The nose definetely was changed. Also, I say the engine is different because that version of the Jumo is worked to be incredibly fast at high altitudes even more than the one that was on the D-9. Check the performance, the difference is really made by that engine.
IMO it's not that much different from Dora. Other thing is, who needs a stratosphere fighter (a buff hunter ) in FHWB. There's never that many buffs waaaayyyyy up there... airfax
i liked the ideas of this theard, principaly the arado 234 this is a very good bomber and i will put a planes lits i wish: for gold: Hs 129 ME-163 komet KI67 hyryu p1y1 Ginga G3m2 N1K1 shinden a advanced jap fighter the kika jet plane arado 234 he-113 fw 190 torpedo bomber for reds: lancaster wellington gloster gladiator fayrey swordfisn gloster meteor to the golds can us the 262 more earlierh
Red Ant: Damned right, buddy!!!!!! Imagine a dogfight at 15 km up @ Afi: The 152 wasn't "faster" per se, it was "faster" at higher altitudes. The main difference between the D-9 and the 152 was the enormous increase in wing surface (which allowed it to climb higher). At lower altitudes the D-9 actually was a bit faster than the 152 due to the higher drag of the 152's wings and higher weight. And as I discribed, the engines used were pretty much interchangeable. In all, I think the differences between the FW190 A-8 and D-9 are a lot larger than the differences between the D-9 and the TA152H.
