I just died like 10 times in a row and just got one kill, which was a La-9.
Got killed by a Spitfire, probably would have killed him if my plane wasn’t mostly stock.
7/10 times I died to P-51H-5 and I always found myself against most of the team with a few above me.
I can see it being good in downtiers but in uptiers it seems to have almost no chance, at least without upgrades.
You can hardly make a judgement if you are flying it mostly stock. Of course you need the upgrades to have any chance.
The Ta 152 H-1 is one of only a view planes able to handle a P-51H in a dogfight. The second you got him slow, the P-51 has a hard time.
If he wants to catch you early game at high alt, play time, the P-51H has only 8min wep time.
And do everything to stay above all enemies. The Ta 152 H-1 is a wonderful energy fighter.
True.
Full spaded and expert crew is minimum, ass crew is recommended.
I agree, in a way the 152H is a bit similar to the zero, the only reason I can get kills is that p51h and f2g have 1 shared braincell and just dogfight me, and not even to their advantage, using their climb rate to slowly bleep me out of speed until I fall out of the sky and become and easy prey.
The airspawn just work like a booster, you can not recharge it and every single maneuver make you more vulnerable. past the first merge, every other 6.0 and even some 5.7 (yak3u, spit lf mk9) will be higher and faster than you.
The fact that the ta152 C3 is somehow higher is even more puzzling. Genuinely the 152C3 have worse performance than the D9 at 5.0, it could go 4.7 without air spawn and still be bullied by 4.3 yak3.
And do everything to stay above all enemies.
easier said than done, you can stay at 6k for the whole game, but at some point you need to drop down to fight. .50, hispanos and AN/M2 have no problem destroying tickets. And unless you go above 10k, all of your enemy will outclimb you anyway, they just need to get some distance and they’ll equalize the energy in no time.
If he wants to catch you early game at high alt, play time, the P-51H has only 8min wep time.
Well even without wep the p51h is still faster and climb better than you. Any competent player should just be able to dive a little, outrun the ta, climb a bit and now you can bnz.
Not to mention that with the insane climb rate of the 51h, you can use 4min to get to 6k, throttle down and only use it when you need to outclimb / dogfight.
Ta can still be a scary as it can get a chance to reverse you if you are a bit to cocky during the BnZ. Just treat it like a japanese plane and you will be fine.
The only luck of the ta imo is that superprop player are used to farm K4 and D9, so they expect the 152 to just be a 190 and expect to instantly get on his six and outrun him. It is not as played as D9 and K4 because 6.0 puts you into the 7.0 uptier with f80 and f84 which are extremely boring and deadly to be against. and the Su11 used to be here as well, fun times.
You didn’t read what he said, at all.
That said, you have to be trolling to try to imply this.
I think these opinions are a result of the problem many player have with energy fighters. It’s very difficult to guess the energy state (speed+altitude) of the enemy correctly. And if you missjudge, you have a hard time and will loose very often.
Sure im trolling, now give me the stats that the H-1 is oh so powerful in at air rb combat altitudes, time to altitude? turn rate? speed? dive performance? not a single one of those stats is good enough to beat any 4.7 by much if at all.
For example it is slower than the yak-9U and La-7 under 5000m and is just as fast at 6-7000, it has a similar time to altitude to them, and tuns worse but dives better, but it cant out dive or out run 4.7 p47s.
That’s the result of GJN’s way to judge planes and the way they reformed ARB.
Yeah its all about k/d and winrate stats to them, that’s how the f8f-1 which has the performance of a 5.7/6.0 superprop, ended up at 4.7 because of the weak armament that gives newbies a hard time getting kills and thus giving the plane overall bad stats.
