Cool. The latest allied machines, the upgraded 47 & P51 H were competitive in speed, but completely outclassed in manueverability & armament.

Had the war lasted an extra 6 months perhaps some significant combats would have occurred between these planes, but then it was projected that 1000 volksjagers per month would be coming off the lines in June 46, so jets would have taken priority over prop jobs for Luftwaffe.Mostly 162's & 262's. But still enough 152's would have been built to be considered significant. Yes I know, where would the piolts be found. I'm speaking in a pure aircraft numbers sense.
