The ▀Tempest Mk V is a premium rank IV German fighter with a battle rating of 6.0 (AB), 5.7 (RB), and 6.3 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.43.

General info

Flight performance

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

Survivability and armour

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 it's biggest advantages. It has a armored glass in the front (44.45 mm or 1.75 in), and armor on the back of the seat (16.9 mm or 0.66 in). It's worst opponent is the 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 MG-s and cannons in the hull. To increase chances of surviving you should always avoid decreasing airspeed under 200 km/h (107 knots).

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Hispano Mk.V (20 mm)

The Tempest Mk V (Germany) is armed with:

  • 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 5000 m (16404 ft). It isn't recommended to hunt bombers. The aircraft is best at destroying less maneuverable planes like: Fw 190-s, F-4 Corsair-s, Bf- 190-s, 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,

4 Hispano 20 mm cannons,

Excellent silver Lion and Research Points boosters.

Cons:

Vulnerability of the engine,

The fact that you can't add rocket, bombs or additional cannons,

A bit expensive.

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]

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
