While the Ta 152 H-1 is the ultimate evolution of the Fw 190, the [[Ta 152 C-3]] takes the Fw 190's concepts to their limit. Don't be dissuaded however, the H-1 is a different beast altogether. Fast, manoeuvrable, and stable past 350 km/h, it is more nimble than most enemies at its BR, has a decent climb rate, short turn time (especially with landing flaps), and above average roll rate. The Ta 152 H-1 trades the incredible roll rate of the Fw 190 for a great energy retention and turnfighting ability. You will outclimb most competitors and will usually have an altitude advantage due to the interceptor airspawn.<br />

{{main|MK 108 (30 mm)|MG 151 (20 mm)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:<br />
<br />
* 1 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon, nose-mounted (90 rpg)<br />
* 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons, wing-mounted (175 rpg = 350 total)<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' --><br />
'''Usual tactic:'''<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 is a high altitude fighter with a wide wingspan and good manoeuvrability. Unlike its heavier cousin the [[Ta 152 C-3]], the H-1's best performance is reached when flying above 9,000 m (~30,000 ft) altitude as this is where the engine performs at maximum efficiency, but at 6,500m it's engine stop overheating, and 500m above, the GM-1 nitrous oxide boost the engine creating a huge horse power boost. A Ta 152 H-1 with altitude advantage is a deadly force to be reckoned with, having a great dive speed and energy retention, making it an efficient Hit and Run plane. With an interceptor airspawn, the climbing phase is shortened. However, the pilot must be aware of planes with a high climb rate like Spitfires or P-51s, as they can absolutely possess an altitude advantage at first contact, despite having to take off from the ground.<br />
<br />
'''Strengths:'''<br />
<br />
Even though the Ta 152 H-1 is an high altitude fighter, it can still perform at medium and low altitudes. Being quite manoeuvrable, it can do well in a dogfight against certain opponents, as you can quickly turn the tide of a dogfight due to your MER and good turn rate with combat flaps. However, some nimbler opponents will outmanoeuvre it easily if they possess an energy advantage. In these situations, it is best for the Ta 152 H-1 to use its primary strengths (speed, turning, and manoeuvring energy retention (MER)), to gain the upper hand. Another role for the Ta 152 H-1 is the interception of heavy bombers at high altitude. Even if the bomber is trying to escape, the Ta 152 H-1 will quickly catch up thanks to its powerful engine.<br />
<br />
'''Flaps on the Ta-152:'''<br />
<br />
When using this aircraft, you need to have in mind that you will need to master Ta 152's amazing flaps performance to masters this plane. Using landing flaps can be difficult initially, but it grants the fighter a incredible turn rate against all targets in its BR, making adversaries such as the F8F or La 9 easy targets. If you have the upper energy, making multiple enemies as P-51 and Ki-84 not so dangerous, and in ideal conditions making it more nimble than A6Ms and the Spitfire Mk IX.<br />
<br />
'''Great armament:'''<br />
<br />
The armament of the Ta 152 H-1 is fairly powerful: the Minengeschoß-firing 30 mm MK 108 and 2 x 20 mm MG 151 have enough power to inflict heavy damage on most targets it will encounter. Though be aware that the MK 108 only has 90 rounds at its disposal and is most efficient at close range. Meanwhile, the two MG 151 have 175 rounds per gun for a total of 350 rounds, and can be used with much more liberty.<br />
<br />
'''Enemies worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
Enemies to be aware of in the Ta 152 H-1 are opponents such as the [[Spitfire F Mk 24]], [[F8F (Family)|F8F]], [[P-51H-5-NA]], [[F2G-1]] and [[Ki-84 (Family)|Ki-84]]. These foes can intercept and force the Ta 152 H-1 into dogfights on equal terms, trying to gain an energy or altitude advantage is key before engagement with these aircraft.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon usually obliterates enemies upon impact, and serves well in bomber interception<br />
* Stable in all axes (joystick), and fairly nimble in a turn (mouse aim)<br />
* Good armour layout protects both the pilot and engine, strong in head-ons<br />
* GM-1 engine boost gives outstanding performance above 7,000 m, at these altitudes a good pilot can go head to head with any foe<br />
* Combat flaps rip off at 700 km/h, which means you can use them at almost any speed<br />
* Above average turnfighter for Germany, landing flaps increase turn so much that you can keep up with most fighters; even some Spitfires<br />
* Has some of the best manoeuvring energy retention (MER) performance in the game, it will easily win a prolonged dogfight with good usage of flaps<br />
* Excellent diver, wings only rip past 870 km/h (540 mph)<br />
* Decently fast on the deck, can reach 580 km/h (360 mph) and will catch most enemies in a straight chase<br />
* Very fast at high altitude (>7 km); at 12,200 m the Ta 152 H-1 will reach 755 km/h (469 mph), making it the fastest single engine German prop fighter<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon is low-velocity, making it hard to hit<br />
* Has a tendency to snap roll viciously, especially in a stall<br />
* Very strong brakes, will easily flip over if not used sparingly, and is thus slower to land than most aircraft<br />
* Losing your flaps through gunfire or otherwise is a massive detriment to turning performance and hampers your ability to dogfight effectively<br />
* Despite having an above average roll rate, it is made significantly worse by pitching up/down<br />
* Average climb rate, even with the airspawn it can be difficult to attain an altitude advantage over foes such as the Spitfire<br />
* Below average ammo capacity, good trigger discipline is a must with the Ta 152 H<br />
* Long wings increase chance of collision with enemy aircraft, especially in head-ons<br />
* Poor parasite drag to thrust ratio, meaning a lot of energy is lost in diving attacks due to wing surface area<br />
* No external payload options or HVAP shells on the MK 108, making this strictly an air superiority plane<br />

<br />
Throughout much of World War II in Europe, the German Luftwaffe was only concerned with their aircraft flying in the mid to low altitudes (20,000 ft/6,100 m and below), therefore a majority of their fighter fleet only utilized a single-stage supercharger which was sufficient for their role. However, with the introduction of the [[B-29A-BN|B-29]], the threat of this type of bomber would have been out of reach for most of the German air fleet.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> To counter high-altitude allied fighters and bombers, the Fw 190D-9 was modified with a two-stage supercharged Junkers Jumo 213E engine which allowed it to achieve the higher altitudes, however, the shorter stubby wings well know for low altitude manoeuvrability actually hindered performance at altitude, though usable, not really a suitable fix.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
Answering the call of the German Air Ministry (RLM – Reichsluftfahrtministerium), Focke-Wulf modified their Fw 190 design and branched out in three directions. The three prototypes, in turn, had one to become the new existing Fw 190D (Ta 152A) series (after the D-9), the second prototype would become a dedicated high-altitude bomber (Ta 152B) while the third would become a ground-attack aircraft (Ta 152H).<ref name="Historyofwar" /> Though adjustments and modifications were made including usage of a different engine, the ultimate results determined these aircraft did not provide enough improvement to continue moving forward and both the Ta 152A and B projects were cancelled. One bright spot from this was that the airframe built for the Ta 152B (the V21 airframe) showed promise and efforts were focused here to create the Ta 152C prototype.<br />
<br />
In 1944 the RLM made a ruling that new fighter aircraft were to include the chief designer's name in the aircraft's designation. What was earlier knows as a Focke-Wulf aircraft was now listed with the prefix Ta which was short for ''Kurt Tank'', though Tank was still working for Focke-Wulf at the time.<br />
<br />
Adjustments to the Fw 190D-9 fuselage resulted in its extension and addition of hydraulics to control the flaps and landing gear. These adjustments threw off the normal center of gravity and made the aircraft off balance, resulting in the lengthening of the nose of the aircraft to normalize the CoG. The length of the wings was slightly lengthened and due to shortages in aluminium, steel spars were utilized aiding to the strength of the wings, but also at a price of extra weight.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152C variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 C-3 ended up with wings .5 m (1.25 ft) longer than the standard Fw 190D-9 to aid in supporting the new steel spars and hydraulic hardware in the landing gear and flaps. The 'C' variant did not incorporate a pressurized cockpit. While designed to work at lower altitudes (though above 25,000 ft or 6,100 m), the fighter was outfitted with a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone which was mounted through the center propeller hub with four MG 151/20 mm cannons, two of which were mounted in the upper fuselage and two more with one in each wing.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> This cannon setup is enough to devastate any aircraft which is on the receiving end of the 20 and 30 mm rounds. The Ta 152 C-3 entered the war too late and in too little numbers to make an effective difference. Shortages in replacement parts became extremely difficult if not impossible to find reducing the ability of the Ta 152 C-3 to be used to the fullest of its abilities.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152H variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 was refined to be more of a high-altitude fighter even so over the Ta 152C. Wings were extended a full length of 14.4 m (47.4 ft), though this lowered its overall speed, it provided substantial improvement with high-altitude handling. To aid the pilots in the higher altitude flights, the H variant was outfitted with a pressurized cockpit. The cockpit was pressurized to approximately a level comparable with 8,000 m (26,250 ft) and the canopy was comprised of two layers of which the outer was a thicker material with a thinner inner pane. To compensate for any moisture which could form between the panes, silica gel was added to aid in stemming any fogging. Unlike the 'C' variant, the 'H' only utilized a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone firing through the propeller hub along with just two MG 151/20 mm autocannons, both of which were mounted in the upper fuselage. Eliminating the two wing-mounted cannons aided in increased manoeuvrability and less weight to make up for some of the additional weight added due to the pressurized cockpit system.<br />
<br />
Overall the Ta 152H variant was one of the fastest piston-engine fighters to emerge during World War II, cruising around 750 km/h (465 mph) while at around 10,200 m (33,000 ft). The Ta 152H also employed the usage of GM-1 nitrous oxide boost and MW 50 methanol-water boost to briefly increase performance in the aircraft and if necessary, both could be applied at the same time.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /><br />

The Ta 152 was, without a doubt, the best aircraft designed by Kurt Tank for Focke-Wulf. The aircraft was a further redesign of the venerable Fw 190, namely of the Fw 190 D. The Ta 152 became possible thanks to the new high-altitude Jumo 213 and DB 603 engines.<br />
<br />
Development began in the winter of 1942-1943, when RLM's technical department released specifications for a new 'Spezial Jaeger', or Special Fighter. The fighter was to be capable of a high-altitude interceptor role. The Ta 152 H-1 was armed with a MK 108 cannon with 85 rounds firing through the propeller hub and two MG 151/20 cannons (220 rounds per gun) in the wings. The H-1 went into serial production in January or February of 1945. A total of only 70 or so were produced, of which very few made it to front-line service.<br />

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:<br />
<br />
* 1 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon, nose-mounted (90 rpg)<br />
* 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons, wing-mounted (175 rpg = 350 total)<br />

'''Usual tactic:'''<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 is a high altitude fighter with a wide wingspan and good manoeuvrability. Unlike its heavier cousin the [[Ta 152 C-3]], the H-1's best performance is reached when flying above 9,000 m (~30,000 ft) altitude as this is where the engine performs at maximum efficiency, but at 6,500m it's engine stop overheating, and 500m above, the GM-1 nitrous oxide boost the engine creating a huge horse power boost. A Ta 152 H-1 with altitude advantage is a deadly force to be reckoned with, having a great dive speed and energy retention, making it an efficient Hit and Run plane. With an interceptor airspawn, the climbing phase is shortened. However, the pilot must be aware of planes with a high climb rate like Spitfires or P-51s, as they can absolutely possess an altitude advantage at first contact, despite having to take off from the ground.<br />
<br />
'''Strengths:'''<br />
<br />
Even though the Ta 152 H-1 is an high altitude fighter, it can still perform at medium and low altitudes. Being quite manoeuvrable, it can do well in a dogfight against certain opponents, as you can quickly turn the tide of a dogfight due to your MER and good turn rate with combat flaps. However, some nimbler opponents will outmanoeuvre it easily if they possess an energy advantage. In these situations, it is best for the Ta 152 H-1 to use its primary strengths (speed, turning, and manoeuvring energy retention (MER)), to gain the upper hand. Another role for the Ta 152 H-1 is the interception of heavy bombers at high altitude. Even if the bomber is trying to escape, the Ta 152 H-1 will quickly catch up thanks to its powerful engine.<br />
<br />
'''Flaps on the Ta-152:'''<br />
<br />
When using this aircraft, you need to have in mind that you will need to master Ta 152's amazing flaps performance to masters this plane. Using landing flaps can be difficult initially, but it grants the fighter a incredible turn rate against all targets in its BR, making adversaries such as the F8F or La 9 easy targets. If you have the upper energy, making mutiple enemies as P-51 and Ki-84 not so dangerous, and in ideal conditions making it more nimble than A6Ms and the Spitfire Mk IX.<br />
<br />
'''Great armament:'''<br />
<br />
The armament of the Ta 152 H-1 is fairly powerful: the Minengeschoß-firing 30 mm MK 108 and 2 x 20 mm MG 151 have enough power to inflict heavy damage on most targets it will encounter. Though be aware that the MK 108 only has 90 rounds at its disposal and is most efficient at close range. Meanwhile, the two MG 151 have 175 rounds per gun for a total of 350 rounds, and can be used with much more liberty.<br />
<br />
'''Enemies worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
Enemies to be aware of in the Ta 152 H-1 are opponents such as the [[Spitfire F Mk 24]], [[F8F (Family)|F8F]], [[P-51H-5-NA]], [[F2G-1]] and [[Ki-84 (Family)|Ki-84]]. These foes can intercept and force the Ta 152 H-1 into dogfights on equal terms, trying to gain an energy or altitude advantage is key before engagement with these aircraft.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon usually obliterates enemies upon impact, and serves well in bomber interception<br />
* Stable in all axes (joystick), and fairly nimble in a turn (mouse aim)<br />
* Good armour layout protects both the pilot and engine, strong in head-ons<br />
* GM-1 engine boost gives outstanding performance above 7,000 m, at these altitudes a good pilot can go head to head with any foe<br />
* Combat flaps rip off at 700 km/h, which means you can use them at almost any speed<br />
* Above average turnfighter for Germany, landing flaps increase turn so much that you can keep up with most fighters; even some Spitfires<br />
* Has some of the best manoeuvring energy retention (MER) performance in the game, it will easily win a prolonged dogfight with good usage of flaps<br />
* Excellent diver, wings only rip past 870 km/h (540 mph)<br />
* Decently fast on the deck, can reach 580 km/h (360 mph) and will catch most enemies in a straight chase<br />
* Very fast at high altitude (>7 km); at 12,200 m the Ta 152 H-1 will reach 755 km/h (469 mph), making it the fastest single engine German prop fighter<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon is low-velocity, making it hard to hit<br />
* Has a tendency to snap roll viciously, especially in a stall<br />
* Very strong brakes, will easily flip over if not used sparingly, and is thus slower to land than most aircraft<br />
* Losing your flaps through gunfire or otherwise is a massive detriment to turning performance and hampers your ability to dogfight effectively<br />
* Despite having an above average roll rate, it is made significantly worse by pitching up/down<br />
* Average climb rate, even with the airspawn it can be difficult to attain an altitude advantage over foes such as the Spitfire<br />
* Below average ammo capacity, good trigger discipline is a must with the Ta 152 H<br />
* Long wings increase chance of collision with enemy aircraft, especially in head-ons<br />
* Poor parasite drag to thrust ratio, meaning a lot of energy is lost in diving attacks due to wing surface area<br />
* No external payload options or HVAP shells on the MK 108, making this strictly an air superiority plane<br />

<br />
Throughout much of World War II in Europe, the German Luftwaffe was only concerned with their aircraft flying in the mid to low altitudes (20,000 ft/6,100 m and below), therefore a majority of their fighter fleet only utilized a single-stage supercharger which was sufficient for their role. However, with the introduction of the [[B-29A-BN|B-29]], the threat of this type of bomber would have been out of reach for most of the German air fleet.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> To counter high-altitude allied fighters and bombers, the Fw 190D-9 was modified with a two-stage supercharged Junkers Jumo 213E engine which allowed it to achieve the higher altitudes, however, the shorter stubby wings well know for low altitude manoeuvrability actually hindered performance at altitude, though usable, not really a suitable fix.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
Answering the call of the German Air Ministry (RLM – Reichsluftfahrtministerium), Focke-Wulf modified their Fw 190 design and branched out in three directions. The three prototypes, in turn, had one to become the new existing Fw 190D (Ta 152A) series (after the D-9), the second prototype would become a dedicated high-altitude bomber (Ta 152B) while the third would become a ground-attack aircraft (Ta 152H).<ref name="Historyofwar" /> Though adjustments and modifications were made including usage of a different engine, the ultimate results determined these aircraft did not provide enough improvement to continue moving forward and both the Ta 152A and B projects were cancelled. One bright spot from this was that the airframe built for the Ta 152B (the V21 airframe) showed promise and efforts were focused here to create the Ta 152C prototype.<br />
<br />
In 1944 the RLM made a ruling that new fighter aircraft were to include the chief designer's name in the aircraft's designation. What was earlier knows as a Focke-Wulf aircraft was now listed with the prefix Ta which was short for ''Kurt Tank'', though Tank was still working for Focke-Wulf at the time.<br />
<br />
Adjustments to the Fw 190D-9 fuselage resulted in its extension and addition of hydraulics to control the flaps and landing gear. These adjustments threw off the normal center of gravity and made the aircraft off balance, resulting in the lengthening of the nose of the aircraft to normalize the CoG. The length of the wings was slightly lengthened and due to shortages in aluminium, steel spars were utilized aiding to the strength of the wings, but also at a price of extra weight.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152C variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 C-3 ended up with wings .5 m (1.25 ft) longer than the standard Fw 190D-9 to aid in supporting the new steel spars and hydraulic hardware in the landing gear and flaps. The 'C' variant did not incorporate a pressurized cockpit. While designed to work at lower altitudes (though above 25,000 ft or 6,100 m), the fighter was outfitted with a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone which was mounted through the center propeller hub with four MG 151/20 mm cannons, two of which were mounted in the upper fuselage and two more with one in each wing.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> This cannon setup is enough to devastate any aircraft which is on the receiving end of the 20 and 30 mm rounds. The Ta 152 C-3 entered the war too late and in too little numbers to make an effective difference. Shortages in replacement parts became extremely difficult if not impossible to find reducing the ability of the Ta 152 C-3 to be used to the fullest of its abilities.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152H variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 was refined to be more of a high-altitude fighter even so over the Ta 152C. Wings were extended a full length of 14.4 m (47.4 ft), though this lowered its overall speed, it provided substantial improvement with high-altitude handling. To aid the pilots in the higher altitude flights, the H variant was outfitted with a pressurized cockpit. The cockpit was pressurized to approximately a level comparable with 8,000 m (26,250 ft) and the canopy was comprised of two layers of which the outer was a thicker material with a thinner inner pane. To compensate for any moisture which could form between the panes, silica gel was added to aid in stemming any fogging. Unlike the 'C' variant, the 'H' only utilized a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone firing through the propeller hub along with just two MG 151/20 mm autocannons, both of which were mounted in the upper fuselage. Eliminating the two wing-mounted cannons aided in increased manoeuvrability and less weight to make up for some of the additional weight added due to the pressurized cockpit system.<br />
<br />
Overall the Ta 152H variant was one of the fastest piston-engine fighters to emerge during World War II, cruising around 750 km/h (465 mph) while at around 10,200 m (33,000 ft). The Ta 152H also employed the usage of GM-1 nitrous oxide boost and MW 50 methanol-water boost to briefly increase performance in the aircraft and if necessary, both could be applied at the same time.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /><br />

The Ta 152 was, without a doubt, the best aircraft designed by Kurt Tank for Focke-Wulf. The aircraft was a further redesign of the venerable Fw 190, namely of the Fw 190 D. The Ta 152 became possible thanks to the new high-altitude Jumo 213 and DB 603 engines.<br />
<br />
Development began in the winter of 1942-1943, when RLM's technical department released specifications for a new 'Spezial Jaeger', or Special Fighter. The fighter was to be capable of a high-altitude interceptor role. The Ta 152 H-1 was armed with a MK 108 cannon with 85 rounds firing through the propeller hub and two MG 151/20 cannons (220 rounds per gun) in the wings. The H-1 went into serial production in January or February of 1945. A total of only 70 or so were produced, of which very few made it to front-line service.<br />

While the Ta 152 H-1 is the ultimate evolution of the Fw 190, the [[Ta 152 C-3]] takes the Fw 190's concepts to their limit. Don't be dissuaded however, the H-1 is a different beast altogether. Fast, manoeuvrable, and stable past 350 km/h, it is more nimble than most enemies at its BR, has a decent climb rate, short turn time (especially with landing flaps), and above average roll rate. The Ta 152 H-1 trades the incredible roll rate of the Fw 190 for a great energy retention and turnfighting ability. You will outclimb most competitors and will usually have an altitude advantage due to the interceptor airspawn.<br />

'''Usual tactic:'''<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 is a high altitude fighter with a wide wingspan and good manoeuvrability. Unlike its heavier cousin the [[Ta 152 C-3]], the H-1's best performance is reached when flying above 9,000 m (~30,000 ft) altitude as this is where the engine performs at maximum efficiency, but at 6,500m it's engine stop overheating, and 500m above, the GM-1 nitrous oxide boost the engine creating a huge horse power boost. A Ta 152 H-1 with altitude advantage is a deadly force to be reckoned with, having a great dive speed and energy retention, making it an efficient Hit and Run plane. With an interceptor airspawn, the climbing phase is shortened. However, the pilot must be aware of planes with a high climb rate like Spitfires or P-51s, as they can absolutely possess an altitude advantage at first contact, despite having to take off from the ground.<br />
<br />
'''Strengths:'''<br />
<br />
Even though the Ta 152 H-1 is an high altitude fighter, it can still perform at medium and low altitudes. Being quite manoeuvrable, it can do well in a dogfight against certain opponents, as you can quickly turn the tide of a dogfight due to your MER and good turn rate with combat flaps. However, some nimbler opponents will outmanoeuvre it easily if they possess an energy advantage. In these situations, it is best for the Ta 152 H-1 to use its primary strengths (speed, turning, and manoeuvring energy retention (MER)), to gain the upper hand. Another role for the Ta 152 H-1 is the interception of heavy bombers at high altitude. Even if the bomber is trying to escape, the Ta 152 H-1 will quickly catch up thanks to its powerful engine.<br />
<br />
'''Flaps on the Ta-152:'''<br />
<br />
When using this aircraft, you need to have in mind that you will need to master Ta 152's amazing flaps performance to masters this plane. Using landing flaps can be difficult initially, but it grants the fighter a incredible turn rate against all targets in its BR, making adversaries such as the F8F or La 9 easy targets. If you have the upper energy, makes even multiples P-51 and Ki-84 not so dangerous, and in ideal conditions making it more nimble than A6Ms and the Spitfire Mk IX.<br />
<br />
'''Great armament:'''<br />
<br />
The armament of the Ta 152 H-1 is fairly powerful: the Minengeschoß-firing 30 mm MK 108 and 2 x 20 mm MG 151 have enough power to inflict heavy damage on most targets it will encounter. Though be aware that the MK 108 only has 90 rounds at its disposal and is most efficient at close range. Meanwhile, the two MG 151 have 175 rounds per gun for a total of 350 rounds, and can be used with much more liberty.<br />
<br />
'''Enemies worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
Enemies to be aware of in the Ta 152 H-1 are opponents such as the [[Spitfire F Mk 24]], [[F8F (Family)|F8F]], [[P-51H-5-NA]], [[F2G-1]] and [[Ki-84 (Family)|Ki-84]]. These foes can intercept and force the Ta 152 H-1 into dogfights on equal terms, trying to gain an energy or altitude advantage is key before engagement with these aircraft.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon usually obliterates enemies upon impact, and serves well in bomber interception<br />
* Stable in all axes (joystick), and fairly nimble in a turn (mouse aim)<br />
* Good armour layout protects both the pilot and engine, strong in head-ons<br />
* GM-1 engine boost gives outstanding performance above 7,000 m, at these altitudes a good pilot can go head to head with any foe<br />
* Combat flaps rip off at 700 km/h, which means you can use them at almost any speed<br />
* Above average turnfighter for Germany, landing flaps increase turn so much that you can keep up with most fighters; even some Spitfires<br />
* Has some of the best manoeuvring energy retention (MER) performance in the game, it will easily win a prolonged dogfight with good usage of flaps<br />
* Excellent diver, wings only rip past 870 km/h (540 mph)<br />
* Decently fast on the deck, can reach 580 km/h (360 mph) and will catch most enemies in a straight chase<br />
* Very fast at high altitude (>7 km); at 12,200 m the Ta 152 H-1 will reach 755 km/h (469 mph), making it the fastest single engine German prop fighter<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* 30 mm cannon is low-velocity, making it hard to hit<br />
* Has a tendency to snap roll viciously, especially in a stall<br />
* Very strong brakes, will easily flip over if not used sparingly, and is thus slower to land than most aircraft<br />
* Losing your flaps through gunfire or otherwise is a massive detriment to turning performance and hampers your ability to dogfight effectively<br />
* Despite having an above average roll rate, it is made significantly worse by pitching up/down<br />
* Average climb rate, even with the airspawn it can be difficult to attain an altitude advantage over foes such as the Spitfire<br />
* Below average ammo capacity, good trigger discipline is a must with the Ta 152 H<br />
* Long wings increase chance of collision with enemy aircraft, especially in head-ons<br />
* Poor parasite drag to thrust ratio, meaning a lot of energy is lost in diving attacks due to wing surface area<br />
* No external payload options or HVAP shells on the MK 108, making this strictly an air superiority plane<br />

<br />
Throughout much of World War II in Europe, the German Luftwaffe was only concerned with their aircraft flying in the mid to low altitudes (20,000 ft/6,100 m and below), therefore a majority of their fighter fleet only utilized a single-stage supercharger which was sufficient for their role. However, with the introduction of the [[B-29A-BN|B-29]], the threat of this type of bomber would have been out of reach for most of the German air fleet.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> To counter high-altitude allied fighters and bombers, the Fw 190D-9 was modified with a two-stage supercharged Junkers Jumo 213E engine which allowed it to achieve the higher altitudes, however, the shorter stubby wings well know for low altitude manoeuvrability actually hindered performance at altitude, though usable, not really a suitable fix.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
Answering the call of the German Air Ministry (RLM – Reichsluftfahrtministerium), Focke-Wulf modified their Fw 190 design and branched out in three directions. The three prototypes, in turn, had one to become the new existing Fw 190D (Ta 152A) series (after the D-9), the second prototype would become a dedicated high-altitude bomber (Ta 152B) while the third would become a ground-attack aircraft (Ta 152H).<ref name="Historyofwar" /> Though adjustments and modifications were made including usage of a different engine, the ultimate results determined these aircraft did not provide enough improvement to continue moving forward and both the Ta 152A and B projects were cancelled. One bright spot from this was that the airframe built for the Ta 152B (the V21 airframe) showed promise and efforts were focused here to create the Ta 152C prototype.<br />
<br />
In 1944 the RLM made a ruling that new fighter aircraft were to include the chief designer's name in the aircraft's designation. What was earlier knows as a Focke-Wulf aircraft was now listed with the prefix Ta which was short for ''Kurt Tank'', though Tank was still working for Focke-Wulf at the time.<br />
<br />
Adjustments to the Fw 190D-9 fuselage resulted in its extension and addition of hydraulics to control the flaps and landing gear. These adjustments threw off the normal center of gravity and made the aircraft off balance, resulting in the lengthening of the nose of the aircraft to normalize the CoG. The length of the wings was slightly lengthened and due to shortages in aluminium, steel spars were utilized aiding to the strength of the wings, but also at a price of extra weight.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152C variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 C-3 ended up with wings .5 m (1.25 ft) longer than the standard Fw 190D-9 to aid in supporting the new steel spars and hydraulic hardware in the landing gear and flaps. The 'C' variant did not incorporate a pressurized cockpit. While designed to work at lower altitudes (though above 25,000 ft or 6,100 m), the fighter was outfitted with a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone which was mounted through the center propeller hub with four MG 151/20 mm cannons, two of which were mounted in the upper fuselage and two more with one in each wing.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /> This cannon setup is enough to devastate any aircraft which is on the receiving end of the 20 and 30 mm rounds. The Ta 152 C-3 entered the war too late and in too little numbers to make an effective difference. Shortages in replacement parts became extremely difficult if not impossible to find reducing the ability of the Ta 152 C-3 to be used to the fullest of its abilities.<ref name="Historyofwar" /><br />
<br />
;Ta 152H variant<br />
<br />
The Ta 152 H-1 was refined to be more of a high-altitude fighter even so over the Ta 152C. Wings were extended a full length of 14.4 m (47.4 ft), though this lowered its overall speed, it provided substantial improvement with high-altitude handling. To aid the pilots in the higher altitude flights, the H variant was outfitted with a pressurized cockpit. The cockpit was pressurized to approximately a level comparable with 8,000 m (26,250 ft) and the canopy was comprised of two layers of which the outer was a thicker material with a thinner inner pane. To compensate for any moisture which could form between the panes, silica gel was added to aid in stemming any fogging. Unlike the 'C' variant, the 'H' only utilized a single 30 mm MK 108 Motorkanone firing through the propeller hub along with just two MG 151/20 mm autocannons, both of which were mounted in the upper fuselage. Eliminating the two wing-mounted cannons aided in increased manoeuvrability and less weight to make up for some of the additional weight added due to the pressurized cockpit system.<br />
<br />
Overall the Ta 152H variant was one of the fastest piston-engine fighters to emerge during World War II, cruising around 750 km/h (465 mph) while at around 10,200 m (33,000 ft). The Ta 152H also employed the usage of GM-1 nitrous oxide boost and MW 50 methanol-water boost to briefly increase performance in the aircraft and if necessary, both could be applied at the same time.<ref name="Militaryfactory" /><br />

The Ta 152 was, without a doubt, the best aircraft designed by Kurt Tank for Focke-Wulf. The aircraft was a further redesign of the venerable Fw 190, namely of the Fw 190 D. The Ta 152 became possible thanks to the new high-altitude Jumo 213 and DB 603 engines.<br />
<br />
Development began in the winter of 1942-1943, when RLM's technical department released specifications for a new 'Spezial Jaeger', or Special Fighter. The fighter was to be capable of a high-altitude interceptor role. The Ta 152 H-1 was armed with a MK 108 cannon with 85 rounds firing through the propeller hub and two MG 151/20 cannons (220 rounds per gun) in the wings. The H-1 went into serial production in January or February of 1945. A total of only 70 or so were produced, of which very few made it to front-line service.<br />

== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' --><br />
<br />
The best way to play this aircraft is to exploit its respectable low-altitude performance and good turn rate. The engine will start to lose power above 4,000 m. It is best used performing Boom-and-Zoom tactics.<br />
<br />
The plane has good energy retention and effective vertical combat capabilities. You can exploit this when you have to fight planes you can't outturn, for example Spitfires, A6Ms and other Japanese fighters. There will be some planes doing vertical manoeuvres better (J2M, Bf 109), but most likely you can easily beat these kind of enemies when it comes to horizontal dogfighting.<br />
<br />
The dive speed is above average, so only use it to escape from light enemies (I-16s, Japanese turnfighters and Spitfires). Any other American plane can out-dive you.<br />
<br />
The Airacobra's 37 mm M4 cannon in the nose will jam easily, so never spray or engage in long bursts. Also the M4 has a very low ammo count, together with a short effective range, a low velocity, and is horribly inaccurate. If you want to use the cannon against air targets, your best choice of belt would be the "Default" belt as it is entirely made of HEFI-T* shells, which can tear apart or set on fire any plane in just one hit.<br />
<br />
The .50 cal machine guns coming with a sufficient ammo pool (but it can disappear quickly, so dont spray too much). They are getting mid-war belts, so its the best to equip the "Universal" belt as it contains a lot of M8 AP-I rounds. If you feel confident aiming the M2 Brownings, you should take the "Stealth" belt as it has the highest chance to set an enemy plane afire.<br />
<br />
In summary, this plane is a solid opponent if used correctly. The plane is equipped to deal with almost enemy planes with its turn rate, its energy retention, its speed, its dive capabilities and its armament.<br />
<br />
As the P39's engines often heats up, you might want to learn how to use MEC to counter it, its way easier than most aircraft as you dont have supercharger or the mixture to worry about, the optimal MEC settings is: 1% to 3% of radiator depending on the map, and ~73% of pitch.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Deadly armament, 37 mm cannon can tear apart any air target with just one or two hits<br />
* Backup machine guns are powerful and have a lot of ammunition<br />
* Very good climb rate; capable of bomber hunting<br />
* The pilot is relatively well protected<br />
* Tricycle landing gear allows you to break continuously on the runway without danger of flipping over<br />
* Great dive characteristics and very high rip speed<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Catches fire easily, like all Airacobras<br />
* The 37 mm cannon is inaccurate, has a very little ammo pool and rate of fire, suffering from low velocity and slow-travelling shells<br />
* Turn radius is worse than the [[P-39N-0]], because of the additional weight and drag of the two extra .50 cals<br />
* Poor high-altitude performance<br />

Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' --><br />
<br />
The best way to play this aircraft is to exploit its respectable low-altitude performance and good turn rate. The engine will start to lose power above 4,000 m. It is best used performing Boom-and-Zoom tactics.<br />
<br />
The plane has good energy retention and effective vertical combat capabilities. You can exploit this when you have to fight planes you can't outturn, for example Spitfires, A6Ms and other Japanese fighters. There will be some planes doing vertical manoeuvres better (J2M, Bf 109), but most likely you can easily beat these kind of enemies when it comes to horizontal dogfighting.<br />
<br />
The dive speed is above average, so only use it to escape from light enemies (I-16s, Japanese turnfighters and Spitfires). Any other American plane can out-dive you.<br />
<br />
The Airacobra's 37 mm M4 cannon in the nose will jam easily, so never spray or engage in long bursts. Also the M4 has a very low ammo count, together with a short effective range, a low velocity, and is horribly inaccurate. If you want to use the cannon against air targets, your best choice of belt would be the "Default" belt as it is entirely made of HEFI-T* shells, which can tear apart or set on fire any plane in just one hit.<br />
<br />
The .50 cal machine guns coming with a sufficient ammo pool (but it can disappear quickly, so dont spray too much). They are getting mid-war belts, so its the best to equip the "Universal" belt as it contains a lot of M8 AP-I rounds. If you feel confident aiming the M2 Brownings, you should take the "Stealth" belt as it has the highest chance to set an enemy plane afire.<br />
<br />
In summary, this plane is a solid opponent if used correctly. The plane is equipped to deal with almost enemy planes with its turn rate, its energy retention, its speed, its dive capabilities and its armament.<br />
<br />
As the P39's engines often heats up, you might want to learn how to use MEC to counter it, its way easier than most aircraft as you dont have supercharger to worry about, the optimal MEC settings is: 1% to 3% of radiator depending on the map, and ~73% of pitch.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Deadly armament, 37 mm cannon can tear apart any air target with just one or two hits<br />
* Backup machine guns are powerful and have a lot of ammunition<br />
* Very good climb rate; capable of bomber hunting<br />
* The pilot is relatively well protected<br />
* Tricycle landing gear allows you to break continuously on the runway without danger of flipping over<br />
* Great dive characteristics and very high rip speed<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Catches fire easily, like all Airacobras<br />
* The 37 mm cannon is inaccurate, has a very little ammo pool and rate of fire, suffering from low velocity and slow-travelling shells<br />
* Turn radius is worse than the [[P-39N-0]], because of the additional weight and drag of the two extra .50 cals<br />
* Poor high-altitude performance<br />

The BV 155 B-1 has below average energy retention, diving speed and roll rate at altitude below 4.5 km, and it becomes more problematic if you don't have any energy left, making it harder to escape from a enemy with the upper hand or with a higher energy potential than you.<br />

'''Realistic Battles:'''<br />
<br />
The BV 155 B-1 has some similarity with the playstyle of the [[Ho 229 V3]] and you may get familiar to it, you need to keep in mind that BV 155 needs energy to keep its good performance, but at the same time trying to maintain IAS low due its constant compression at high speeds, it means you have to maintain the altitude and energy all the time to avoid any enemy fighter getting the upper hand on you, which means you will have a hard time escaping from it (even bombers such as SB2C may catch you easily), as you bleed considerably in long dogfights and have below average diving speed, bad straight line acceleration and top speed at most common engagement altitudes (3 km and 5 km). But this plane can be very efficient when you get used to its BnZ and turn rate or bomber hunting capabilities (due its very reliable weaponry) while you don't let anyone dive on you and getting more energy.<br />
<br />
'''Enemy worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
[https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ki-43-III_otsu Ki-43-III Otsu] - It may outclimb the BV 155 at the beginning of a match and must be avoided if at higher altitude. This plane can rope-a-dope and outturn you, so proceed with caution.<br />
<br />
Spitfires - Some spitfires may not seem a threat as they have a very lower performance at high altitude compared to yours, but as it can make you bleed your energy and after that accelerate to catch your tail, Spitfires need to have treated properly as dangerous enemies. BnZ is recommended and dogfights need to be avoided.<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Extremely impressive performance at any altitude if it has energy (can even outturn some turnfighters depending on the circumstance)<br />
* Has combat flaps to even faster turns<br />
* Very powerful cannons with effective belts against air targets that can rip apart large bombers<br />
* Decent climb rate that comes along with airspawn in RB<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large wingspan makes you an easy target<br />
* Lacking of armour makes bomber hunting slightly harder<br />
* The engine tends to overheat too often if radiator is damaged<br />
* 2 out of 3 cannons are mounted in wings<br />
* Compresses past 700 km/h and doesn't have airbrakes<br />
* Poor flight performance at lower atltitudes<br />

'''Realistic Battles:'''<br />
<br />
The BV 155 has some similarity on the play style of [https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ho_229_V3#Usage_in_battles ho 229 V3] and you may get familiar to it, you need to keep in mind that BV 155 needs energy to keep its good performance, but at the same time trying to maintain IAS low due its constant compression at high speeds, it means you have to maintain the altitude and energy all the time to avoid any enemy prop getting the uperhand on you, which means you will have a hard time escaping from him (even bombers such as SB2C may catch you easily), as you bleed considerably in long dogfights and have below average diving speed, bad straight line acceleration and top speed at most common engagement altitude (3km and 5km). But this plane can be very efficient when you get used to its BnZ and turnrate or bomber hunter capabilities (due its very reliable weaponry) while you don't let anyone dive on you and getting more energy.<br />
<br />
'''Enemy worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
[https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ki-43-III_otsu Ki-43-III Otsu:]Ki-43-III Otsu may outclimb BV 155 in match beginning and '''MUST''' be avoided if at higher altitude. This plane can rope-a-dope and outturn you, so proceed with caution.<br />
<br />
'''Spitfire''': Some spitfires may not seem a threat as they have a very lower performance at high altitude if compare to yours, but as it can make you bleed your energy and after that accelerates to catch your tail, spitfires need to have treated properly as one of most dangerous enemy to your energy. BnZ is recomended and dogfights need to be avoided<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Extremely impressive performance at any altitude if it has energy (can even outturn some turnfighters depending on the circumstance)<br />
* Has combat flaps to even faster turns<br />
* Very powerful cannons with effective belts against air targets that can rip apart large bombers<br />
* Decent climb rate that comes along with airspawn in RB<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large wingspan makes you an easy target<br />
* Lacking of armour makes bomber hunting slightly harder<br />
* The engine tends to overheat too often if radiator is damaged<br />
* 2 out of 3 cannons are mounted in wings<br />
* Compresses past 700 km/h and doesn't have airbrakes<br />
* Below average energy retention, diving speed and roll rate at altitude below 4.5km (which becomes more problematic if you don't have energy), making harder to escape from a enemy with the uperhand or with more energy<br />

=== Pros and cons ===<br />
<!-- ''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".'' --><br />
<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Extremely impressive performance at any altitude if it has energy (can even outturn some turnfighters depending on the circumstance)<br />
* Has combat flaps to even faster turns<br />
* Very powerful cannons with effective belts against air targets that can rip apart large bombers<br />
* Decent climb rate that comes along with airspawn in RB<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large wingspan makes you an easy target<br />
* Lacking of armour makes bomber hunting slightly harder<br />
* The engine tends to overheat too often if radiator is damaged<br />
* 2 out of 3 cannons are mounted in wings<br />
* Compresses past 700 km/h and doesn't have airbrakes<br />
* Below average energy retention, diving speed and roll rate at altitude below 4.5km (which becomes more problematic if you don't have energy), making harder to escape from a enemy with the uperhand or with more energy<br />

'''Realistic Battles:'''<br />
<br />
The BV 155 has has some similarity on play style of the [https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ho_229_V3#Usage_in_battles ho 229 V3] and you may get familiar to it, you need to keep in mind that BV 155 needs energy to keep its good performance, but at the same time trying to maintain IAS low due its constant compression at high speeds, it means you have to maintain the altitude and energy all the time to avoid any enemy prop getting the uperhand on you, which means you will have a hard time escaping from him (even bombers such as SB2C may catch you easily), as long as you bleed considerably in long dogfights and have below average diving speed bad straight line acceleration and top speed at most common engagement altitude (3km and 5km). But this plane can be very efficient when you get used to its BnZ and turnrate or bomber hunter capabilities (due its very reliable weaponry) while you don't let anyone dive on you and getting more energy.<br />
<br />
'''Enemy worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
[https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ki-43-III_otsu Ki-43-III Otsu:]Ki-43-III Otsu may outclimb BV 155 in match beginning and '''MUST''' be avoided if at higher altitude. This plane can rope-a-dope and outturn you, so proceed with caution.<br />
<br />
'''Spitfire''': Some spitfires may not seem a threat as they have a very lower performance at high altitude if compare to yours, but as it can make you bleed your energy and after that accelerates to catch your tail, spitfires need to have treated properly as one of most dangerous enemy to your energy. BnZ is recomended and dogfights need to be avoided<br />

'''Realistic Battles:'''<br />
<br />
The BV 155 has has some similarity on play style of the [https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ho_229_V3#Usage_in_battles ho 229 V3] and you may get familiar to it, you need to keep in mind that BV 155 needs energy to keep its good performance, but at the same time trying to maintain IAS low due its constant compression at high speeds, it means you have to maintain the altitude and energy all the time to avoid a enemy props getting the uperhand on you, which means you will have a hard time escaping from him (even bombers such as SB2C may catch you easily), as long as you bleed considerably in long dogfights and have below average diving speed bad straight line acceleration and top speed at most common engagement altitude (3km and 5km). But this plane can be very efficient when you get used to its BnZ and turnrate or bomber hunter capabilities (due its very reliable weaponry) while you don't let anyway dive on you and getting more energy.<br />
<br />
'''Enemy worth mentioning:'''<br />
<br />
[https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ki-43-III_otsu Ki-43-III Otsu:]Ki-43-III Otsu may outclimb BV 155 in match beginning and '''MUST''' be avoided if at higher altitude. This plane can rope-a-dope and outturn you, so proceed with caution.<br />
<br />
'''Spitfire''': Some spitfires may not seem a threat as they have a very lower performance at high altitude if compare to yours, but as it can make you bleed your energy and after that accelerates to catch your tail, spitfires need to have treated properly as one of most dangerous enemy to your energy. BnZ is recomended and dogfights need to be avoided<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Extremely impressive performance at any altitude if it has energy (can even outturn some turnfighters depending on the circumstance)<br />
* Has combat flaps to even faster turns<br />
* Very powerful cannons with effective belts against air targets that can rip apart large bombers<br />
* Decent climb rate that comes along with airspawn in RB<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large wingspan makes you an easy target<br />
* Lacking of armour makes bomber hunting slightly harder<br />
* The engine tends to overheat too often if radiator is damaged<br />
* 2 out of 3 cannons are mounted in wings<br />
* Compresses past 700 km/h and doesn't have airbrakes<br />
* Below average energy retention, diving speed and roll rate at altitude below 4.5km (which becomes more problematic if you don't have energy), making harder to escape from a enemy with the uperhand or with more energy<br />

<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Extremely impressive performance at any altitude if it has energy (can even outturn some turnfighters depending on the circumstance)<br />
* Has combat flaps to even faster turns<br />
* Very powerful cannons with effective belts against air targets that can rip apart large bombers<br />
* Decent climb rate that comes along with airspawn in RB<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large wingspan makes you an easy target<br />
* Lacking of armour makes bomber hunting slightly harder<br />
* The engine tends to overheat too often if radiator is damaged<br />
* 2 out of 3 cannons are mounted in wings<br />
* Compresses past 700 km/h and doesn't have airbrakes<br />
