The Focke-Wulf TA-154 is another remarkable aircraft that I feel should be modded. This aircraft was to be a competitor with the De Havilland Mosquito.

The competition with the british Mosquito was propaganda, not an official purpose, although the aeroplane was designed to fulfill similar roles. The wooden construction was intended to economise on strategic materials rather than simply do the same as the British. In the event, the quality of construction was not good. Still, as you say, its an interesting aeroplane for 'what if' scenarios.

Oh, I didn't know that, still, this plane would be nice in game

Well, the construction of the plane was very good, and it would have been an very good plane for it task. But they used the "wrong" glue for the planned production planes (because the one they used for the prototypes wasn

Official documents state pretty much the opposite

Post some "official documents" i

otherwise official documents state that the mosquito was a piece of crap as well. :twisted:

To quote an official report from 12.-13.6.1944:

"Plane looks anharmonic... As a whole it looks like little weight and powerful engines, but bad aerodynamics."

I will be the first to admit that I am no expert in these things but looking at the shape of this aircraft each part - from the engine naceles/wing structure (almost B25?) to the tail plane and fuselage - seems to remind me of other aircraft that are already in IL2 :wink: . Pieces that could be used almost as is, with minimal modding. It is almost as if it is crying out for someone to cut and paste this together.

It really is a good looking aircraft, shame its flying history was rather unfortunate.. so to speak.

The biggest problem would be to model it to simply fall apart at random in the air as the real thing used to do :lol: :lol: :lol:

Falling apart in the air indeed... :roll: where is your spirit of adventure, have you no shame... ?

Nothing to do with adventure spirit, mate. But if i were a real pilot i would certainly prefer my ride to stay in one piece and not to disintegrate without any good reason. Unfortunately the Ta-154 Mosikto had this nasty habit to disintegrate if someone just looked at it in a funny way, let alone if they would shoot at it.

On July 1944 two Ta 154 A-1's completed using the Dynamit glue took off for testing. The second aeroplane crashed when its wings desintegrated: the glue ate into the wooden structure! Due to these problems with the wooden parts, and following further crashes of two other aeroplanes, Tank halted series production on 14 August 1944. RLM halted the entire project in September 1944, a little more than six months after its air worthiness certificate.

Joking aside Radoye, you are missing the point. Ignore its problematic flight characteristics and look at the obviously flawed beauty of this aircraft. :lol:

I am trying to say that, for those with the skill in this area, it would appear to be a a comparatively quick win to introduce a good facsimile of this aircraft to the game. There is even a range of more than suitable cockpits and now radar aerials available. :wink:



Any takers ...... ?

[Radoye]

I understand what you say, and even agree - it could be relatively easily cobbled together from existing pieces, true. But to be entirely faithful to the original and as historically accurate as possible one would need to make it fall apart at random. Otherwise it would just not be a Ta-154. :wink:
