Dude, how the hell did you turn that TA-152 into the Felon at the end of Top Gun Maverick? I swear you hit that kvochur bell move when that surprise P-47 started shooting you
How do you think the Me262 would fare against the MiG-15? Both got some big guns and decent speed, and they're almost contemporaries. Dunno... could be fun?
Ta152 is such an amazing looking plane along with the FW190. The cockpit visibility is pretty poor, though. Makes you appreciate the bubble canopies of the later Mustangs and Spits.
As good as DCS can look, IL2 is just miles better. The weather effects look real instead of like marshmallow puffs, the flames coming off the exhaust of the radials, the bomber gunner fire that you can actually *see* - SO GOOD
Some people swear that IL-2: Cliffs of Dover is actually the best when it comes to details like that. My personal favourite is B-17 Flying Fortress : The Mighty 8th where every individual round that hits any aircraft will make its own individual hole.
The Fw 190 was one my favorite warbirds. When I was going to college, there was an airshow nearby, so some my friends went over. And there was a guy there with a 1/3 scale Fw 190. It looked so real until got up close. The man who build from scratch (and also the pilot) was there and he told us all about. So cool.
The Ta152 was a response to the B-29. The Germans knew about the B29 and also knew they had no fighter that could intercept it at the altitudes it could reach.
in fact, it was the BV 155, the H version of the TA was made so that Germany would have a fighter really made for high-altitude combat, its main mission was to combat fighters, the BV 155 was designed to shoot down the B29
@@TR4Ajim yes, but the one that was made specifically to fight the B29 was the BV 155, the H1 was made to fight enemy fighters that escorted the bombers, but obviously they would attack the bombers too
@@holdenmcgroin5276 oh my god, talking to people with low intellect is tough, just do a little research on what the BV 155 was being designed for, talk as if the Germans didn't have spies
@@CncrndCtzn - Well, there was those two Japanese subs that were delivering jet, rocket, and atomic technology to Japan from Germany, (they destroyed one of them) so technically - YES.
Apparently their "Schnitzelnator" wasn't suffient enough! So the German Fralines mingled with the American pilots and had... well you get my point, so-to-speak... Kinda like cross-breeding a BMW with a Ford Mustang... LoL, J/K, but fun anyway.
3 vs 1 killing all 3. Nice! And 18:02 I know this was unintentional but tell me this didn't look like the cobra move from Top Gun Maverick. lol Great vid as always. Well done sir.
I liked how you kept referring to it as a tank. Interestingly the change from FW to Ta was a homage to its designer (indeed the 190's too) Dr. Kurt Tank!
Mother***!!! Just as I *thought* about *asking* about 190 yesterday, upon watching the K4 Shotgun duel - He delivers! That's worth a sub, mate. Thanks, and keep it up! Very nice clutch with those 4x47, (luckily none of them was THE 47 ;) I do have to criticize the B25 formation approach, AOE too shallow, just as your predecessors - shouldve stuck to the plan, gained more altitude, get IN FRONT of them a bit and THEN down, super steeply, aiming for either center mass to shred the pilots, or just any of the wings - the steeper the AOA, the easier it is to kill the bomber, and 152 is amazing at retaining energy, as you said. Haha, did exactly that in the 2nd pass.. 3rd kill... Sends shiver down your spine when you imagine this MUST'VE happenned. But then again - shallow, getting impatient. Bleh, would hate to see you die like that, luckily that was not the case. DAMN! It's a movie like shit. Love that. NEVER pull up with an enemy on your tail - both of you relatively slow, should've done Split S I guess, makes harder to aim, and you definitely outroll the 47, even if 152's rollrate is significantly worse than 190. Sick looking, risky as fuck - even if it paid off, he was not necessarily tryharding there, could've sprayed you to death. Damn, definitely my fav video. Loved it. Little idea : I've seen you fighting Shotgun, I'd love to see you in a duo. With the 2 of you in a tandem this formation of B25 would've gone down in seconds, and those 47s? Would be sweet to see the 2 of you setting kills for each other, especially Shotgun, with his slipperiness. Please consider it lads. Thanks again!
The 30 mm cannon si casually throwing 330 gram explosive grenades down range. It's like getting hit by a supersonic cup of coffee, filled with nitroglycerin. No wonder it shreds.
From what I've heard, DCS is an aircraft simulator and IL-2 is a WW2 air combat simulator. DCS more accurately depicts each aircraft and how they handle but you can't have the same vast battles like you can in IL-2.
I’ve just started playing IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad in VR (around 7 hours) and it is infinitely more impressive to me the degree of smoothness and dexterity with which you’re able to control the aircraft in your videos. Not that it was ever anything but
The ammunition on those German autocannons is just narly. Ever seen pics of Allied planes that survived hits from 20mm or 30mm? The explosive filler just tears those planes apart and makes huge holes in them.
Nice video. The TA-152 is so beautiful to me. Many hold the Spitfire as the beauty of the warbirds. This one is the one for me =) Slender body, long thin wings. Bello e impossibile as the Italians would say
Wow on what you did to that P47. I swear to god man, MG20 rounds just bounce off the fuselage I managed to get four of the thunderbolts in a 109 on the Normandy map a few days ago.
Like many, I'm certainly enjoying the WW2 action! Was asking for some TA action the other day and wham, bam here it is. Is there a set up for the DO 335?
The TA-152 had nearly unmatched firepower, only the ME-262 could throw more lead. Two 20mm MG-151 cannons in the wing roots and a single 30mm MK-108 cannon in the nose made this thing extremely accurate to boot. For firepower reference, 30mm minengeschoß rounds were found to have the ability to kill a P-51 with one good hit and five hits to kill a B-17.
"I will dive away from these P-47's now" Not a great decision, but it worked out well in the end. A lot of Jerries lost their planes and their lives "diving for home" because both the 47 and the 51 handled well at high speed when they gave chase.

Furball; FWta152's + ME 262's vs P38's + P51's
Can you do another one with like the BOF 09 shooting down B-17’s?
GS casually pulling the Kvochur Bell maneuver in a TA 152 was *chefs kiss*
P47 guy disengaged too. probably thought he was done for.
P47 pilot: "what the fuuu..."
I would disengage too if i saw anything perform such a maneuver in 1945.
P47 pilot: “holy sht what the fuq was that?”

it's my favorite WW2 plane for sure, so good looking
It does have a bobble-canopy
@xx_lightning_xx5781 agree, although I prefer the C over the H
Not with the blown hood, which was almost as good as a bubble, but much easier to manufacture.
Poor as it be it still is better than the bf109
18:00 Nice maneuver there. Maverick would be flummoxed/impressed!
I thought he was losing control there, I didn't know that was an aerobatic stunt.
@@WinVisten That's "the forced overshoot"... If you do it while too slow you WILL lose control though.
"This thing was an absolute TANK" - We see what you did there, GS.
😂
Jah Kurt.
I'm really enjoying the WWll content. It's fun to watch some good old-fashioned dogfighting.
As good as DCS can look, IL2 is just miles better. The weather effects look real instead of like marshmallow puffs, the flames coming off the exhaust of the radials, the bomber gunner fire that you can actually *see* - SO GOOD
Flak that actually does something...
@@mattmcbee7109 Yup. If you just keep your current trajectory, like you would in DCS, you get shredded pretty fast.
I love IL-2. Iam 54th_Hashashin. We fly in DED EU
Some people swear that IL-2: Cliffs of Dover is actually the best when it comes to details like that. My personal favourite is B-17 Flying Fortress : The Mighty 8th where every individual round that hits any aircraft will make its own individual hole.
@@JAnx01 I dont like the main menu of COD
“Greetings, this is Greg.” - the sound you hear just before you learn a lot about the 152
Hahaha....yes!
Greg is a legend!
We all love Greg

I think those P-47s might've actually thought you were dead after that spin out lol
GS, this mix of modern and WWII videos is AWESOME! As the old saying goes, “NOW you’re hittin’ on all cylinders!”
Thanks for running the Ta-152 - beautiful plane that is a total beast with its weapons load out.
The Ta-152 is just a beauty of an aircraft. Epic fight as well GS. Keep it up!

@@jazeelfagundes6845 False - the B-29 was never going to Europe! The B-29 was designed for vast distances in the Pacific theater.
@@holdenmcgroin5276 oh my god, talking to people with low intellect is tough, just do a little research on what the BV 155 was being designed for, talk as if the Germans didn't have spies
GS: I don't know if you can see how long the wingspan is.
Me: Yeah. It looks like an acoustic U-2.
I wasn’t familiar with the Ta152 until this video. What a beast. Amazing video content too I loved it!
We NEED an F4U or F6F Vs A6M fight. It’d be peak rivalry on par with the Spit Vs 109
Or A6M vs F4F Wildcat.
You're going to have to wait for whenever the F4U-1D is finished for DCS. Il-2 has no intention of adding PTO aircraft.
@@Ambaryerno - The British used their F4U Corsairs in the Atlantic and European Theater, so we don't need to see the Pacific Theater added.
@@conroypawThe British were fighting the Japanese in the Atlantic? That’s a new one!
@@CncrndCtzn - Well, there was those two Japanese subs that were delivering jet, rocket, and atomic technology to Japan from Germany, (they destroyed one of them) so technically - YES.
You say the TA-152 is a tank. Well, it was designed by Kurt Tank, hence the TA designator
Bro I will always click the Ta-152 videos. It is my favorite prop plane ever
That picture of the fräulein on the panel brought you luck!
I love the IL2 content. Great flying!
Love the IL-2 content! I've put over 100 hours into IL-2 so far, but I still suck. LOL
"It's a tank."
Designed by Kurt Tank
The Ta in the name actually comes from Tank.
Kurt Tank that is, the designer.
Incorrect title: Everybody knows that the Schnitzelnator 3000 is the true peak of German engineering
4000
Hell yeah
Peak of the development cycle is what they mean
😂😂😂
Apparently their "Schnitzelnator" wasn't suffient enough! So the German Fralines mingled with the American pilots and had... well you get my point, so-to-speak... Kinda like cross-breeding a BMW with a Ford Mustang... LoL, J/K, but fun anyway.
Love WWII VIDEOS. JUST LOVE THEM. No radar, no missiles, just talent and guts.
Loving the IL2 content, keep it up!
Great video, really showing the potency of this fighter and a response to the increasing formidable allied fighters
3 vs 1 killing all 3. Nice! And 18:02 I know this was unintentional but tell me this didn't look like the cobra move from Top Gun Maverick. lol Great vid as always. Well done sir.
Love the WWII IL-2 content, thanks for bringing it back!
Thats a Ta152H1... they also had the Ta152C3 which was a very fast short wing variant of the h1 with even more armament but lacked manouverability.
yes, it ticks me off when they keep calling it a Ta-152 when it's the H version.
Thanks for posting, after watching I bought the TA 152 on sale!
Impressive video! Really enjoyed this one as with the rest of the classic fighters! Good work and cheers!
I liked how you kept referring to it as a tank. Interestingly the change from FW to Ta was a homage to its designer (indeed the 190's too) Dr. Kurt Tank!
The Ta-152 is honestly the most beautiful piston aircraft.
Damn beat me to it!
It’s definitely striking, but the Bearcat takes the cake for me!
You guys need to go to Specsavers 😅
Mother***!!!
Just as I *thought* about *asking* about 190 yesterday, upon watching the K4 Shotgun duel -
He delivers!
That's worth a sub, mate.
Thanks, and keep it up!
Very nice clutch with those 4x47, (luckily none of them was THE 47 ;)
I do have to criticize the B25 formation approach, AOE too shallow, just as your predecessors - shouldve stuck to the plan, gained more altitude, get IN FRONT of them a bit and THEN down, super steeply, aiming for either center mass to shred the pilots, or just any of the wings - the steeper the AOA, the easier it is to kill the bomber, and 152 is amazing at retaining energy, as you said.
Haha, did exactly that in the 2nd pass..

NEVER pull up with an enemy on your tail - both of you relatively slow, should've done Split S I guess, makes harder to aim, and you definitely outroll the 47, even if 152's rollrate is significantly worse than 190.

thank you for the VOD.🥃🥃
Loving the oil fouling your cockpit - great effect!😁
This was amazing! Thank you! Can you please do more videos with this beast.
Beauty & beast - great WWII stuff - really enjoying your return to this era
That thing is a “Kurt” Tank.
Great video! Please do one with the FW-190 D9 next!

Well GS, you actually got more kills then the actual pilots of the TA-152.

what a fantastic video!! More TA-152!!!!
Another VERY COOL video GS Merry XMAS!!
My dad was a gunner on a B24 in China. When they had enough missions they got their own plane. Miss Conduct and had the shark mouth.
I'm so glad the Ta-152 is available in the game now!
This is awesome! More of these as well!!!!
0:32 "...this thing was an absolute tank".
Just wondering if you said that on purpose (the designer of the FW-190 and later variants was Kurt Tank) :)
FFS! Karen, WE ALREADY KNOW THIS ! 😂😂😂😂😂 like, who doesn't know who the designer was? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@BobFiltration He didn't mention it (that i heard), so i got curious. As for everyone knowing who the designer was, i very much doubt that :)
@@BobFiltrationhalf the people saying that in the comments didn't know until they saw the other half saying it, I can promise you.
Those looked like the Razorback P-47s.
They were. I don't think the TA would have fought against them either.
As impressed as always 👏
Wasn't there a long fuselage model of the FW190 with shorter wings?
Yea the 'Dora' version I believe
Yes, d variants with inline engines
Kvochur Bell in a Ta-152 is pretty crazy.
Loving the WWII content!

Not sure if you watched Masters of the Air but there would be scenes where the B-17 crews get lit up by 20mm rounds. It got pretty messy
@@doodooswirl read some after action bomber crew reports, and there were limbs hanging on with tendons and blown off heads even from the 20mm
@@juslitor Imagine getting excited over something so hideous.
Good luck getting spare parts for your engine after bringing that first aircraft home, GS.
I haven't properly played a WW2 flight sim since IL2 1946 but I did love the armament on the Ta-152
I love that there is a photo on the flight panel of the pilot's sweetheart
1:05 Those 30mm Mk108 minengeschoß shells were no joke ... German research suggested four hits to bring down a B-17, and only one for a figher.
Wow - what a great plane! Superb job for the Luftwaffe! ;)
I'd heard of the Ta-152 but never expected it to be this much of a monster.
Just ordered the Pimax Crystal Super. This will be fun to play.
Who noticed how close G.S. was to getting shredded? 3:55
Damn I never thought we'd get a video on this thing
You really shredded those Mitchells!
Nice video. The TA-152 is so beautiful to me. Many hold the Spitfire as the beauty of the warbirds. This one is the one for me =) Slender body, long thin wings. Bello e impossibile as the Italians would say
I never liked the look of the spitfire. But the fighters Kurt Tank designed for FW where just beautiful.
Another fun round.😊
The photo of Gertrude on the instrument cluster helped 😊

Finally a Ta152 video
That is some flying man!
The flaps will hold until 650kph ias, if you drop them at the top of your loops you’ll bleed some energy, but you can turn in extremely aggressively.
Hellyea more IL2 :D
Like many, I'm certainly enjoying the WW2 action! Was asking for some TA action the other day and wham, bam here it is. Is there a set up for the DO 335?
That TA-152 did a Kvochur maneuver like it was the Su-57 from Top-Gun Mavrik
FW-190 and TA-152 are my favorite WW2 aircraft ever. Their armaments are the main reason. 🙌🙌😘😘
In this late phase of WWII and you fighting razorback P-47's and P-51's... And they don't even shoot when they are in position to do it... Sad 😕.
Beautiful plane! Those cannons are lethal.
Nice! Some P-39 Airacobra content, as you have the Stalingrad version?
4 to 1 and still a win. The Ta-152 is a total boss.

Awsome awsome awsome! More WW2 vids
17:00 come on bro you just got a bit disoriented :P

There's a short scene in movie with two Corsairs vs a Mig 15.
Play put that scenario if you haven't.
It's complete bollocks. They don't even drop their ordinance to fight.
