Hola
Sanpifer
Lo siento pero discrepo con lo que has dicho en tu ultimo mesaje.
El Fw190D9 y el Ta-152 son aviones casi identicos, en realidad las variantes mas avanzadas que el D9 fueron denominadas Ta-152 en honor a su diseñador, Kurt Tank.
700
Ambos aviones entraron en combate, obviamente no tanto como el Mustang pero en mi opinion son validos, en especial porque se midieron a Mustangs, Spitfires y Hawker Tempests, que eran considerados como los mejores cazas de los aliados occidentales.

A rare picture of a number of TA 152H-1 fighters in April 1945
De las paginas te pongo una serie de extractos sobre las capacidades de estos modelos:
The pilots who flew the Ta 152 H in battle were very pleased with it. The aircraft was well able to battle the P-51D "Mustang" as well as the British Hawker "Tempest", several of these allied aircraft falling to the guns of the Ta 152. Despite the fact the Ta 152 H was ment to combat high-altitude allied bombers, almost no missions of this type were flown by those units who operated the aircraft ( notably, III/JG 301 and Stab JG 301 ). The first mission undertaken by III/JG 301 on March 2, 1945 was to intercept U.S. bombers heading for the Bohlen chemical plant near Leuna. It ended when pilots of a group of Messerschmitt BF 109s mistook the new German aircraft for the enemy and engaged them. No losses were incured and the superior climbing and agility of the Ta 152 H allowed them to evade all of the "attackers". Following this, most of III/JG 301 was involved with battling allied fighters, not bombers...the final victims of the Ta 152s guns being Russian Yakolev Yak-9s during the final days of battle around Berlin on April 30, 1945.
Approximately 150 Ta 1252H-1 fighters were manufactured between January 1, 1945 and the final abandoning of production with the arrival of Soviet forces at the Cottbus assembly plant. No Jagdgruppen ever completely converted to the type, but several Jagdstaffeln operated the Ta 152H alongside the Fw 190D and other types. Most of the Ta 152s operated in the close-support role. Others flew "top-cover" for bases from which Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters operated, trying to protect the jets from being "bounced" by Allied fighters during takeoff or landing. It was said that no British or American fighters risked attacking an Me 262 during landing while Ta 152s were known to be circling the airfield. The large wing area of the Ta 152 made it quite easy to fly. Most of the Ta 152Hs, however, were destroyed on the ground by Allied air attacks while awaiting delivery.
Used mainly for close support and top cover for Me 262 bases during takeoff/landings. Kurt Tank himself was reportedly flying a Ta 152H-1 when he was jumped by four P-51D Mustangs and escaped by opening the throttle and engaging the MW50 boost.
El problema no fue la produccion de estos aviones, sino la falta de combustible y tripulaciones para operarlos. Del D9 se produjeron unos 700. Del Ta-152 solo 220, aunque solo 150 eran modelos de produccion, el numero de ellos que llego a operar la Luftwaffe es unos 60, que eran la version H.
Saludos.
