From my experience on it (game, not real
), the Tempest is a heavy plane, that needs soft handling... and, if handled "well" (mean keeping your speed up), it can black out you in no time. If you allow your plane to slow down, you're in deep trouble with it, that's certain
My only problem in it is rear visibility which I find definitely bad (but, according to Closterman's "Great Show", it was 56cm wide, so I guess that the real one wasn't very good either
)
