+ | The '''Ta 152 C-3''' is a Rank IV German interceptor with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB) and 5.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in [[Update_1.57_"Battle_March"|Update 1.57 “Battle March”]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Ta 152 C was designed for mid altitude combat, with a re-designed short wing similar to that of the 190 series, such as the [[Fw190D-13|Fw 190 D-13]]. With its Daimler-Benz DB 603 engine, gaining speed and altitude is the first priority in this aircraft. Second, is heavy usage of Boom and Zoom tactics, especially on heavily armed strategic bombers like the [[B-29A-BNSuperfortress|B-29 Superfortress]]. With its armament of four MG-151 20 mm cannons (two in the wing roots, two in the cowling), and a MK-103 cannon firing through the propeller hub (which according to wikipedia makes this the C-3 version), trigger discipline is a must to take down as many aircraft as you can with the ammunition on board. However, it can be pushed to turn tight in a pinch with a rather small amount of energy lost by using the flaps, and despite not having a proper combat flap setting. The flaps are extremely strong and they deploy quickly, even at higher speeds (though it is not advisable to do such thing unless the situation is just right). | ||

Description
The Ta 152 C-3 is a Rank IV German interceptor with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB) and 5.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.57 “Battle March”.
The Ta 152 C was designed for mid altitude combat, with a re-designed short wing similar to that of the 190 series, such as the Fw 190 D-13. With its Daimler-Benz DB 603 engine, gaining speed and altitude is the first priority in this aircraft. Second, is heavy usage of Boom and Zoom tactics, especially on heavily armed strategic bombers like the B-29 Superfortress. With its armament of four MG-151 20 mm cannons (two in the wing roots, two in the cowling), and a MK-103 cannon firing through the propeller hub (which according to wikipedia makes this the C-3 version), trigger discipline is a must to take down as many aircraft as you can with the ammunition on board. However, it can be pushed to turn tight in a pinch with a rather small amount of energy lost by using the flaps, and despite not having a proper combat flap setting. The flaps are extremely strong and they deploy quickly, even at higher speeds (though it is not advisable to do such thing unless the situation is just right).

Armaments
Offensive armament
The Ta 152 C-3 is armed with:
- 1 x 30 mm MK 103 cannon, nose-mounted (90 rpg)
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, wing-mounted (175 rpg = 350 total)
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, nose-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)
Usage in the battles
Currently the 152 C-3 does not carry any under-wing ordnance, but it can perform rather lethal ground-pounding with its MK 103 (30 mm) cannon, if it is loaded with armoured target rounds (HVAP). Though one must aim carefully and have good trigger discipline to knock out tanks, or else one wastes too many shells on a single vehicle.

However, the stock belts can be a bit of a pain to use, as half of the load are not the infamous German Minengeschoße (HE-IT).
The Ta 152 C-3 is somewhat of a combination of the Fw 190 D series and the Ta 152 H-1, it is easy to play, but difficult to master and is easily countered by the enemy, but that will not stop you from doing well with this aircraft as long as you fight engagements on your terms.

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 big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
Read also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
Sources
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- page on aircraft encyclopedia;
- other literature.
