Not all the variants, sub-variants and aircraft camouflages are 100% historically accurate. Thank you for your understanding.
-
The TA-152 is a spectacular looking machine!
-
The Ta-152 has always been a very interesting design to me, it's awesome to see such a detail description of all it's sorties, never knew about that friendly fire incident with the 109s either!
-
0:44 The Jumo 213 only ended up in the Fw 190 because it was available in greater numbers. And that happened because Germany stopped bomber production entirely for the Jägernotprogramm (Emergency Fighter Program). All resources were redistributed to fighter production in an attempt to regain control in the sky over Germany. For the Fw 190 it was the beginning of a new chapter and the D-variants turned out to be very capable machines.

The great test pilot, Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown, said that the FW-190 series of fighters were definitely the best piston engined fighters fielded by the Luftwaffe during WWII. He was less than complimentary about the Bf-109.

EXCELLENT - EXCELLENT - EXCELLENT. THANKS very much. You are bringing aviation historical facts to life and to the reach of all of us. Greetings from Mexico City.

Ta-152 is like the rare bird of the Luftwaffe. Very hard to find a lot of info about it (or even die-cast models!). This is such a great help to understanding this really remarkable--if underappreciated--fighter! Thanks so much for this. Really great content.
-
Cool! IMHO the Fw-190/Ta-152 looks much cooler than the more famous Bf-109s. Looking forward to part 2!
-
One thing about P-47s; of all the combat footage I've seen, I never saw a Thunderbolt lose a big chunk of wing .
-
An interesting little side note.........Kurt Tank had a Ta 152 as his personal airplane at the end of the war. Had no problem outrunning P-51s
-
Well produced and thought out great animated footage.
-
Holy crap, the 109's engaged the ta 152's and made both groups blow their E so that the pony's could come in and decimate them?! ...I'll never complain about my warthunder team again.
-
Holy shit duuude,never imagined i could see my favourite prop aircraft on this channel
-
great stuff, thanks for putting it together
-
And the Smithsonian has the only Ta152 in existence but still hasn’t restored it. It’s in storage at the Paul Garber Facility outside of Washington DC.
-
Great video, thanks
-
nice video!!!!! I did not know about this airplane. Thanks
-
Nice video 👍!
-
I think it is in the best interest of the channel to reveal the unknown events to the audience such as the roll of the su-22 during Iraq-Iran war. There are many stories narrated by the pilots themselves. Regards.

Thanks!
