The appearance of the Ta 152 in Enlisted is long overdue. The Ta 152 actually flew combat missions in WW2 and according to those who flew it in actual combat, the Ta 152 was the best piston engine fighter aircraft of WW2.
The Ta 152 however should NOT be an event or even a premium unit, it belongs in the German tech tree. Anything that ends up exclusively as a premium unit or an event unit is not available to new players, or even veteran players, that either do not have money to buy them, or that miss an event for one reason or another.
For example the British “Tempest” fighter aircraft is currently only available as a premium unit in Enlisted, but it is no longer for sale. The “Tempest” without a doubt was the best late-war British fighter aircraft, arguably the best late-war allied fighter aircraft. Currently however the “Tempest” is not available in Enlisted anymore, except to those that currently own the premium “Tempest” unit.
Additional variants of the Ta 152 with different armament could be added in Enlisted as event and/or premium units though, in addition to German tech tree variants. This has already been done with other aircraft in Enlisted that are available both in the tech tree and as event and premium units. For example the P-51 “Mustang”, Me 109 and Me 262 are available in the tech tree and as premium units.
As to the Ta 152 it certainly has the best victory to loss ratio of any fighter aircraft in WW2, if my memory serves me right it is 16 victories to 0 losses in combat. A few Ta 152 were lost in accidents during WW2, but not due to combat.
The data available on the internet is generally unreliable at best, Wikipedia is certainly not a reliable “source”, if one can call “Wikipedia” a “source” at all.
The two sources to consult concerning the Ta 152 that instantly come to mind are.
1.) “Focke-Wulf Ta 152” by Dietmar Harmann. This book contains useful, reliable and interesting primary source German development and test data.
2.) “Jagdgeschwader 301/302 >> Wilde Sau <<” by Willi Reschke. Reschke was a late WW2 German fighter pilot and “Experte” at a time when the German fighter pilots found themselves fighting at 40 to 20 to 1 odds in the sky. Reschke is to my knowledge the only fighter pilot that flew the Bf 109, Fw 190 and Ta 152 in combat and who has written a book containing information on the performance in combat of the Ta 152 versus various enemy combat aircraft.
Either way the Ta 152 deserves a place in Enlisted, but the Ta 152 should only be added in Enlisted if the Ta 152 performs in Enlisted like in real life. In real life the Ta 152 could out-turn, out-roll and out-run every other enemy aircraft in WW2 according to those pilots that flew it in actual combat, at 40 to 20 to 1 odds against the various premier WW2 enemy fighter aircraft it fought in WW2.
The Ta 152 and all other German aircraft in Enlisted that had GM 1 / MW 50, should have the ability in Enlisted to use GM 1 / MW 50 etc. in combat and be able to refuel it the aerial resupply point in Enlisted. The whole idea behind the introduction of GM 1 / MW 50 in German aircraft was to instantly give them superior engine performance in actual combat. By not giving GM 1 / MW 50 in Enlisted to German aircraft that were equipped with it, the developers are seriously handicapping German aircraft in the game.
Adding any Ta 152 variant in Enlisted without also giving it GM 1 / MW 50 would be both inauthentic and silly. The whole idea behind any German aircraft with GM 1 / MW 50 was to give it instant superior engine performance in combat. And so it should be in Enlisted for any WW2 German aircraft that had GM 1 / MW 50.
