Hisotry and Information

A single-seat, single-engine designed by Kurt Tank during the late 1930s. It was the counterpart of the legendary Messerschmitt Bf/Me 109.
It used a powerful 1,600hp engine, which enabled it to carry a heavier load, it had many roles, which includes day fighter, the fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft, and to a lesser extent a night fighter
It proved itself superior to allied fighters, except in the turn radius until the newer Spitfire MkVs. This plane was also optimized for mid to low altitude.

The turbocharger had problems with high altitude(6,000m) and would decrease its effectiveness as an interceptor. This plane is equipped with a pair of MG FF 20mm cannon, a pair of MG 151 20MM cannons, and a pair of 7.92mm machineguns.
The successor of this plane is the Ta-153 and the long-nosed Fw-190s.
During WW2, there were many aces that used the Ta-152. Pilots such as Otto Kittel with over 200+ victories and Walter Nowotny. The Fw-190 was said to have superior firepower, as well as speed and maneuverability than the Bf-109s.
