The C-model was designed to operate at lower altitudes than the H-model, and had even heavier armament consisting of one 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 firing through the propeller hub, and four 20 mm MG 151/20s.
Two of the 20 mm guns were mounted above and aft of the engine (in the forward upper fuselage decking), and the other two in the wing roots.
The cockpit was not pressurized in the C models.
The Ta 152C could destroy the heaviest enemy bombers with a short burst but the added weight decreased speed and rate of turn.

Performance
The Ta 152H-1, with the Jumo 213 E engine, was among the fastest piston-engined fighters of the war, capable of speeds up to 755 km/h (472 mph) at 13,500 m (41,000 ft, using the GM-1 boost) and 560 km/h (350 mph) at sea level (using the MW 50 boost).
To help it attain this speed, it used the MW 50 system mainly for lower altitudes (up to about 10,000 m/32,800 ft) and the GM-1 system for higher altitudes, although both systems could be engaged at the same time.
The Ta 152 was one of the first aircraft specifically designed to employ a nitrous oxide power boost system.

In late 1944, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] reported that while flying an unarmed Ta 152H to a meeting at the Focke-Wulf plant in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien],
he saw two [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
He made his escape by engaging the MW 50 boost, opening the throttle wide to gain maximum speed to escape the enemy fighters, and left the two Mustangs behind him.
There is no evidence from Allied reports that these P-51s ever saw him.

Japanese version
In April 1945, the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] had acquired the license, schemes and technical drawings for manufacturing the Ta 152 in
Japan.
During the last stages of the conflict in Germany, with the plight of the Japanese armed forces growing ever bleaker, a very large influx of the latest aviation technology Germany had to offer was given to or bought by the Japanese air force in the hopes that it would stem the tide of defeats and ever increasing pressure by the superior aircraft the Allies were putting into the field.

Operational history
By fall 1944, the war was going badly for Germany, and the RLM pushed Focke-Wulf to quickly get the Ta 152 into production.
As a result, several Ta 152 prototypes crashed early into the test program.
It was found that critical systems were lacking sufficient quality control.
Issues arose with superchargers, pressurized cockpits leaked, the engine cooling system was unreliable at best due in part to unreliable [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] temperature monitoring, and in several instances the landing gear failed to properly retract.

A total of up to 20 pre-production Ta 152 H-0s were delivered from November 1944 to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Ta 152 to service test the airplane.
It was reported that test pilots were able to conduct a mere 31 hours of flight tests before full production started.
By the end of January 1945, only 50 hours or so had been completed.

III./[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], initially a Luftwaffe[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] unit, was ordered to convert to the type in January 1945,
which it did (and flew them operationally for a short time).
In the end, available Ta 152s were pooled in a special Stabstaffel JG 301, first based at Alteno, then at [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in Mecklenburg.
The Stabstaffel never had more than 15 Ta 152Hs available, both H-0s and H-1s. Since the usual transfer system had broken down, pilots had to look for additional 152s themselves.

Three Ta 152s - flown by Reschke, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Aufhammer and Oberfeldwebel Sattler - were scrambled, catching the Tempests by surprise. Reschke declared:
We reached the position at an altitude of 200 metres, just at the moment when both Tempests after diving started climbing again. Just as the dogfight was developing Sepp Stattler, on our side, was hit and his plane fell like a stone out of the sky [...] The Tempest which I attacked quickly reached the same height as me and was [at] approximately 10 o'clock before me. The dogfight began between 50 and
100 metres above ground level and very often the wing tips passed close over the treetops.[...] The whole fight was executed in a left-hand turn, the low altitude of which would not allow for any mistakes. Ever so gradually I gained metre by metre on the Tempest and after a few circles I had reached the most favourable shooting position. [...] I pressed my machine-gun buttons for the first time [...] I could see the Tempest for a short moment in straight ahead flight displaying slightly erratic flying behaviour. But
immediately she went straight back into the left turn. [...] I sighted the Tempest very favourably in my cross-hairs and could not have missed but my machine-guns experienced feeding problems. I therefore tried to shoot it down with my cannon and forced her into a tight left-hand turn from where she tipped out over her right wing and crashed into a forest.

Mitchell (a rookie with just a month and half of experience on the front-line ) was flying the Tempest and was killed on impact with the ground.
It is thought that Stattler had been shot down by either Short or Bill Shaw of 486 Sqn, who claimed a Bf 109 in the same area (the Ta 152s were mistaken for 109s).
Operational missions were flown in April 1945 from Neustadt, mostly escorting close support aircraft to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

On 24 April, Reschke claimed two [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] near Berlin. It seems that three often reported victory claims by Obfw. Walter Loos, on 24, 25 and 30 April ), can't be attributed to Ta 152 (Loos himself denied that, stating that he
never shot down a single enemy fighter while flying the Ta 152 ).
At the end of the war the Ta 152 score was likely seven victories and four losses in air combat (a little degree of uncertainty about those numbers does exist).

Four victories were achieved by Josef Keil, from 1 March 1945 to 21 April 1945 .
Statement he had five victories on Ta 152 is unsubstantiated and denied by matching score table and dates, since the Ta 152 was delivered to JG 301 on 27 February 1945 and the first Ta 152 combat action against American bombers happened on 2 March 1945 , so his victory against a B-17 on 20 February 1945 couldn't have been achieved flying that type of fighter.
