The standard reconnaissance version was designated the Ta152 E-I and was supposed to replace current fighter-reconnaissance versions of the Bf 109. The Ta152 E-I was based on the ta152B and the Ta152C
In the course of development the high altitude reconnaissance version, which was originally designated the Ta152 E-2, became the Ta152 H-I 0 and was based on the Ta152 H-I high-altitude fighter. It shared the same basic configuration as the Ta152 E-I but had a pressurized cockpit, the larger wing (23.5 Square meters) and, in the course of further development, the MW 50 system. Another interesting proposed version was the Ta152 E-I/R 1. 11 were to carry a RB 50/18 camera mounted at an angle, specifically 10 degrees to the horizontal. In order to accommodate this a bulge was added to one side of the fuselage. The necessary camera housing was tested on a standard production Fw 190 D-9 (see attachment).
Originally only one prototype was planned for the reconnaissance versions of the Ta152. however this was subsequently changed to three prototypes. The following reconnaissance prototypes of the Ta152 were planned:
Ta152 V9 Werkllummer 110009 Prototype for the Ta152 E-I,
Ta152 V14 Werkllummner 110014 Prototype for the Ta152 E-I
Ta152 V26 Werkllummer 110026 Prototype for the Ta152 H-I 0
Ta152 V9 & V14 cancelled 5th January 1945
Ta152 V26 Listed as ready to fly March 1945, no further details on this airframe.
