Zulu I've posted the document released by Focke Wulf 12-1-45 in this thread. It states the loaded take off weight of the Ta-152C-1 as 4900kg. Even if we assume the test used a prototype without ammunition carried this returns a combat loaded weight of no more than 5093kg.
Also when the figures on your posted data reproduced by Monogram are added together they return 5003kg full normal loaded (combat) weight, not 5322kg.
Can you suggest reasons for these inconsistencies as I'm now confused. 422kg out of concordance with Focke Wulf themselves is no small matter.
In any case in-game performance doesn't even match these specifications. Maximum climb rate is 10 m/s for il2 Ta, nowhere near 16 m/s. According to the aircraft viewer 1670hp take off output at 2600u/min is modelled (MW-50 is required for 2700u/min at which 2100hp is modelled). Sustained climb is also well shy by some 4 minutes to circa 8km altitude.
