Ta-152 C versions & corrections

As with most planes' engines during the war, the MkV benefited from a power upgrade in 1942. Therefore, both climb and speed would be affected. The same would happen in case of a Russian (87 octane fuel) vs a British (100 octane fuel) model. Higher octane > higher compression ratio > higher power.

If what you mentioned is correct, the in-game model would have the 87 octane fuel MkV speed and climb rate. This does not happen.

If they wanted to model the 100 octane fuel MkV it would have the speed and climb rate of an 100 octane MkV model. This does not happen either.

What we have in-game is a MkV with the climb rate of the 1942 model (comparable to the 100 octane fuel British model) and the speed of the 1941 model (comparable to the 87 octane fuel Russian model). In no way is this accurate.

It is almost has if the in-game MkV is a 1941 version (or a Russian 87 octane fuel model) but with less weight than in RL, therefore the incorrect optmistic climb rate.

To have any historical accuracy, we would need two new slots for a 1941 (or Russian 87 octane fuel) and 1942 (British 100 octane fuel) Spit MkV.
