Which was the best night fighter?

[Soren]

Btw Erich, I know that the Ta-154 project was cancelled because of the obvious shift towards jets being made within the LW for most future a/c. But the Ta-154 nonetheless featured some very impressive stats with a 670 km/h top speed fully equipped with radar (This was with Jumo 213A engines as I understand it, it was 632 km/h with the Jumo 211R).

Looks were good too :

it was tested by NJG 3

guess there may have been reports of 1-3 kills, still not looked in a good light they trusted their G-6's and 110's.

weak bonding issues from wing to fuselage funny it was called the name of it's counterpart in the air when this thing couldn't catch a Mossie if it wanted to. Again too many stroeks agasint this A/C as well

AFAIK the Mossie NF wasn't too fast with the antennas attached, around 630 km/h, same as the He-219.

sadly and this was proven over and over again test results are just that test results; not of use in the combat situation, promise promise. the Mossie XXX was a performer. In actual combat instances the He 219 could not hit over 400 mph unless balls out in a dive which it did too many times. for the combat situation it is fruitless in my opinion to even quote test results that are non-combative as even being factual for A/C involved.

NF 30: 397 mph, 639 km/h with 2 50 gallon drop tanks attached.
