to be honest, i think the spit14 performs better then the tempest, espescially at altitude.  Not sure why there is a limit on them.

I mean…. The Tempest is by FAR the best plane in this match up… if flown correctly it should be basically untouchable with 4 20mm Hispanos at its disposal… plus whatever magic prevents it from being hit by incoming fire haha.

Idk about that last part, but I will put the Tempest and the TA152 in the speed and climb charts when I get a moment, but pretty sure the tempest wins all day long aside from extreme altitudes…

Also the tempest is a much more widely flown plane, most people know what to expect. I can say even as a primarily Luftwaffe squad… hardly any of us can fly the Ta152 well, let alone hit anything with it. I couldn’t wait to get out of the 152 and into an A8… but tempests and spit 14s against an A8 is wild enough as it is… but I do that normally in the MA anyway so I don’t mind haha.
