The Tempest has an excellent Napier Sabre 2 engine. It allows air speeds up to 727 km/h (393 knots). The aircraft has a descent manoeuvrability, and extending the flaps helps massively in turning. You can outmanoeuvre almost any American airplane, but dogfighting isn't recommended in this plane. It can withstand from 14 G to -7 G.

The Tempest's weakest point is the engine. It is '''''very''''' big and gives away after 2-3 hits. The aircraft becomes vulnerable because speed is one of its biggest advantages. It has an armoured glass in the front (44.45 mm or 1.75 in), and armour on the back of the seat (16.9 mm or 0.66 in). Its worst opponent is the [[Spitfire (Family)|Spitfire series]]. It's best not to mess with them. If you entered a dogfight reduce airspeed, extend flaps and let them overshoot. The Tempest is also vulnerable to AAA fire. You should avoid flying over enemy bases and airfields. If impossible to avoid, get close to the ground and fly away. Other than that the aircraft is very durable. It can withstand a solid amount of damage with [[:Category:Aircraft machine guns|MGs]] and [[:Category:Aircraft cannons|cannons]] in the hull. To increase chances of surviving, you should always avoid decreasing airspeed under 200 km/h (107 knots).

The Tempest has great performance in altitudes up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft). It isn't recommended to hunt bombers. The aircraft is best at destroying less manoeuvrable planes like: [[Fw 190 (Family)|Fw 190s]], [[F4U (Family)|F4U Corsairs]], [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109s]], ground attack planes and any bomber that comes near the ground. It excels at high speeds. However it isn't a classic boom-and-zoom aircraft because you shouldn't fly too high after attack. The guns reach maximum efficiency when firing in bursts. Try to avoid long bursts, a burst should not exceed 5-6 bullets. You should replace the climbing with flying away in a more or less straight line. Don't attack unless you can fly away at a high airspeed (at least 500 km/h or 269 knots).

  • 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons, wing-mounted (200 rpg = 800 total)

Usage in battles

The Tempest has great performance in altitudes up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft). It isn't recommended to hunt bombers. The aircraft is best at destroying less manoeuvrable planes like: Fw 190s, F4U Corsairs, Bf 109s, ground attack planes and any bomber that comes near the ground. It excels at high speeds. However it isn't a classic boom-and-zoom aircraft because you shouldn't fly too high after attack. The guns reach maximum efficiency when firing in bursts. Try to avoid long bursts, a burst should not exceed 5-6 bullets. You should replace the climbing with flying away in a more or less straight line. Don't attack unless you can fly away at a high airspeed (at least 500 km/h or 269 knots).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Great airspeed
  • Good manoeuvrability
  • Four Hispano 20 mm cannons
  • Excellent Silver Lion and Research Points boosters

Cons:

  • Engine vulnerable to damage
  • Plane is large, presenting a big target for enemies
  • Cannot equip payloads
  • Expensive to purchase
  • Lacking the "150 octane fuel" modification compared to the original British Tempest Mk V, this reduces the engine power by a solid 620 horsepower (although the plane still gets impressive engine performance for its rank)

History

On October 15, 1944, a Hawker Tempest Mk V, EJ709, flown by F/O George Taylor Kinnel of the RNZAF, was flying an armed reconnaissance mission over Münster when he was hit by flak and crash-landed at Nieukerk. He survived the landing and was taken as a POW.[1]

The aircraft was salvaged by 2./Versuchsverband O.K.L. and moved to Finnow. There, it was repaired with parts from another Tempest that had been shot down near Hespe in December 1944. The repairs were finished on January 4, 1945. It was then brought to Rechlin for testing.[1]
