Ta 152 H-1 Collector Plane Released in IL-2 Great Battles

This unique machine was a pinnacle of German piston engine technology of its time, designed to be able to engage Allied bomber formations at very high altitudes and prevail over Mustangs and Spitfires. You could say it was over-engineered with its two-stage three-speed (!) supercharger and two simultaneous boost systems (MW-50 water-methanol for altitudes up to 10 km and GM-1 nitrous oxide for 11+ km). Yes, this is not a typo - this piston-engine aircraft could not only climb above the modern airliners (its ceiling was 13 km), but also be able to dogfight there.
Like most late-war German war machines, there were too few of them to make a difference. By the spring of 1945, when it was too late to intercept Allied bomber formations - Allied ground forces were advancing into the Reich from both the east and the west - only about two dozen aircraft were combat-ready. The few planes were used in the usual fighter roles and, ironically, much closer to the ground than they were built for - covering the takeoffs and landings of the new jet-powered aircraft. This is similar to the story of the Allied P-47 Thunderbolts, which were designed for high-altitude combat and had special systems for it, but ended up spending a good part of their flying time close to the ground because they proved to be the best ground attack fighters of the US Air Army Air Forces.

They should be already in the air if they want to have a chance to cover the 262… 🤪

[@m6smitten]

This will be great against the escorts and large formations of B-17s at 25,000+ ft.

[@justicier10-7]

This man knows... 🤣

[@snipe1973xxl]

Will we get B-17s in Il-2? I'm afraid not.

@@snipe1973xxl there needs to have B17S or b24s to complement the TA-152s!!

[@snipe1973xxl]

@@waltergreif4836 Yes, but I'm afraid we won't get them. As far as I know, it was expressly stated some time ago. I guess the game engine doesn't make it possible to use large bombers (too many gunner stations?).

[@nem7291]

Great aircraft !!!!

[@man_vs_life]

Really great to have this but it's hard to avoid the "If only there was a B-17 to marry it with."

[@Avetorro]

Is there a Bristol Beaufighter on the horizon?

[@J0hn-MiCHaeL]

Thank you 1C very cool!

[@markusv311]

Noice, thanks for this great plane. Hope one day you will add another german bomber as the He 177 or Do 217

[@NoXiDLP]

Finally. Thank you!

[@Spitfiresammons]

The Ta-152H-1 looks super fantastic I can’t wait for the next release of the Polikarpov-I-153 and hopefully the next future new aircrafts is like Bf-110G-4 Night fighter Spitfire Mk.XII and the Gloster Meteor Mk.1

[@---1521]

Lol. Kamon, I want a Messerschmitt Me.323 Gigant.

[@waltergreif4836]

There needs to be a segment in IIL-2 to include 'Defense of the Reich' to include B17/24s vs Luftwaffe and a map to include eastern Germany, and the number of a/c shall be controllable in any scene to prevent slide shows. I believe you guys want to and can do it to complete this ETO!!

[@countless60]

They said can’t do 4 engine planes. I want the B-26 or the B-25

[@user-it7qc8yn6l]

Cool plane! Thanks

[@BF109K4_]

Now you have jumo213E，and you already have Fw190D9，so can u make FW190D12&13。

[@LuftManu]

Nice!

[@erebus8579]

In principle at this time, to protect the Me 262 from attacks by Allied fighters during the approach and then during landing, Fw190 D9s with the lower surface of the wings painted with white and red stripes (to avoid gunfire friendly flak) were in flight (Combat Air patrol)

Неужели действительно на номинальном режиме моторов видно пламя их патрубков? Ни на одном кадре хроники, ни на современных поршнях на видео не видно вспышек в выхлопе в полете.

[@Aardvark892]

One thing I don't understand about this video: wasn't the 152 designed for high altitude? They shoulda focused more on that for this video, in my opinion. That said, though, fantastic airplane!

[@direktorpresident]

It would be the only one up there

[@KillerKev1961]

There were 2 variants, this one is the shorter wing H1. The high altitude version was the longer wing H2

Are there plans for a late war soviet campaign? Yak-3, Yak-9U, La-7? Budapest, Konigsberg, Vistula-Oder, Berlin?

[@JG27Korny]

Is it worth it to release la 7 and yak 3 as separete planes or give them a map Berlin and make a new mini extension with FW 190 a9, he 162, Dornier p256, Ta 183?

[@borisgrishenko652]

this is beautiful but I wish there was a high altitude bomber like a B-17 otherwise the Ta-152 doesn't really have much of a role beyond standard fighter ops, give it a reason to show off it's capabilities please!

Not showing swastikas is so silly :D It's a historic symbol, documentaries also show it, why not an historically accurate sim? Still awesome though just annoying to have to mod them back in... :D
