Hate to say it but from what I have read the Tempest is indeed greatly underspeed, it was a match for the 190D and any other Axis fighter, but I am pleased with what we have

Don't forget the Air Speed indicator in the Tempest reeds in Knots not MPH (100 knots is about 115 Mph)

Default Manoeverability?
Yeah, and the Tempest in this game is not very manoeverable either. Does anyone know if the real plane was such a dog?

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 )

Read 'The Big Show' by Clostermann.The Tempest seemed to be a bit of a pig in real life.

Hey don't be so hard on those guys - it's inferior to LA-7 in turn, so logically it must be crappy machine.

Nevermind that it owns everything axis except D9 at lower alts especially.

I don't fly the Tempest often because it is too fast, too maneuverable and too easy to fly. If anything it is overmodelled in these respects. There, you've read it.

So 'everything Axis' is the Bf109 down low, then? Sounds about right


I'll take you on in a Me262, He162 or Do335 with you in a Tempest

Tempest is fantastic down low, not very good up high, the top speed and power falls off rapidly.
