Good one oddball!
Quote:16 prototypes were to be built, allowing the tail unit to be interchanged between the Design II and III variations. Of the Versuchs (experimental test series) aircraft, the Ta 183 V1-V3 were to be powered by the Jumo 004B turbojet, pending delivery of the HeS 011 jet engine. The Ta 183 V4-V14 were 0-series preproduction aircraft and V15-V16 were to be static test aircraft. The first flight of the aircraft was projected for May 1945, but none were completed by 8 April 1945, when British troops captured the Focke-Wulf facilities. However, construction of the first prototype did not commence before the end of the war in Europe.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_183
if the above information is correct it would be naive to think that if the race had continued that by the time the yak15 and mig 9 took there first flight that the 183 was also doing the same
To the original author .
A better match up in the game would be the HE162 (late model) vs Mig9/Yak15 ( i have a COOP based around the match up...fun )
