The Ta 152 H-1 is a rank IV German fighter with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB), 6.0 (RB), and 5.7 (SB). This fighter has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.

General info

Flight Performance

Survivability and armour

  • 5 mm steel - under the cockpit
  • 5 mm steel + 8 mm steel - behind the pilot
  • 20 mm steel - pilot's headrest
  • 70 mm bulletproof glass - armoured windscreen

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main articles: MK 108 (30 mm), MG 151/20 (20 mm)

The Ta 152 H-1 is armed with:

  • 1 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon, nose-mounted (90 rpg)
  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, wing-mounted (175 rpg = 350 total)

Usage in battles

The Ta-152 H-1 is a designated high altitude fighter with a great wing area and good manoeuvrability, unlike its heavier brethren the Ta 152 C-3. Fly high, preferably at >10 km (32000 ft) since the engine is more effective at those altitudes.

There is a noticeable change above 3,800 m where the engine starts providing more power however it is generally not sufficient to make the plane superior to the aircraft it generally fights, so do not rely on it. Most players use this aircraft as a "Boom & Zoom" although it is possible to dogfight with aircraft that have at least one disadvantage (e.g. P-51 - lower roll rate at low speeds and climb rate above 4,000 m relative to the Ta 152) so tactics vary.

Not advisable to tackle more than one enemy at once.

Do not dogfight Russian FW 190 D premium, or the Bearcat as there is practically nothing you can do.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 30 mm cannon usually obliterates enemies upon impact
  • Stable in all axis (joystick)
  • Unstable when ~400 km/h and turn(mouse aim)
  • Can out-climb the P-51 D at high altitude
  • Good performance above 7,000 m

Cons:

  • 30 mm cannon is low-velocity, making it hard to hit
  • Has a tendency to snap roll viciously
  • Average roll rate, which is made significantly worse by pitching up/down
  • Somewhat slow on low to medium altitude
  • Poor wing lift to weight ratio, and hence poor turning ability, equal to Tempest Mk.V
  • Poor parasite drag to thrust ratio, meaning a lot of energy is lost in diving attacks

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
