The Hawker Tempest Mk V was a British multirole fighter and a further development of the Hawker Typhoon. Hawker Aircraft designed it under the leadership of Sir Sidney Camm. In October 1944, one of these aircraft, EJ709, piloted by George Taylor Kinell, was shot at by German air defenses and made an emergency landing near Kerken. Kinell survived and was taken prisoner, while the aircraft was transported to the Finow airfield, where German specialists assessed the damage "at 15 percent". Using parts salvaged from another downed Tempest, the damage was later repaired. Beginning in early January 1945, Luftwaffe pilot Hans Werner Lerche conducted a series of test flights that continued until mid-April of that year. The subsequent fate of aircraft EJ709 is unknown.

The German Tempest Mk V was introduced in Update 1.43. It stands out for its powerful armament and high top speed for a piston-engine fighter. However, its low climb rate and thrust-to-weight ratio impose serious limitations on its combat effectiveness. Additionally, the German version lacks 150-octane fuel, which negatively affects its flight performance.
